Darling Killers #05 - Ruth van Beek

For this episode of Darling Killers, I sit down with the illustrious Ruth Van Beek, and it immediately becomes painfully obvious that I can barely disguise my greed for the small sculpture she brought along as her contribution to this month’s Resurrauction. Well, I am only human! Ruth’s collages obfuscate and reveal in equal measure. Ruth doesn’t hesitate to destroy images in order to create images. She lives and works in a seaside town with her family and a formidable collection of clocks. Working with an eclectic archive as raw material, she creates playful and painterly works that more often than not, end up in one of her delightful and widely acclaimed artist books. Blue figure is a rare three-dimensional rendering of one of her collages that doubles as a kind of talisman that has served its time watching over the artist's studio.
