Desiree deRuiter
£0.00
Desiree deRuiter explores psychological forms that are both natural and bizarre. These forms resist being known objects, retaining obscurity, beauty and animosity through singular moments or eons of time.
Working from found objects and abstract line drawings, Desiree chooses to isolate the forms she creates, letting them float in unrealistic ways. This allows for an intimate interaction with the audience, drawing them into an internal perspective of time.
Desiree has included two bodies of work reflecting time. Her mezzotint works are the crawling, invisible change that happens over centuries, creating relics of nature through erosion and fossilization. These works reflect the anxiety of the degeneration of nature.
Her mokuhanga works reflect the opposite passage of time. These are bright, delicate moments encapsulated in the female body during a cycle of trying to conceive. For a brief time there is a possibility of an additional body within a body, giving us moments of expectation and disillusionment.
Desiree completed a BA in visual arts from Trinity Western University in 2011. She received second prize from the Victoria Emerging Arts Award in 2013 and she currently has works with the Vancouver Art Gallery Rentals and Sales. She has shown in both solo and group shows locally and internationally.
