Ruby Jean Waterhouse – BA/BFA
Using water as a material takes something simple and well known to be used in a number of curious ways. Experimenting with water has enabled a playful process for me as it has a life of its own. My motivation is to push the audience to view something in a different way to how they first imagined. I use my body with water to create visual videos that I edit into “video-drawings”. Using these I bring my work into a 3d space through installation using projection. The idea that water is a being in its own right has become more interesting to me as my work has progressed. Since water is hard to control, there is a constant push and pull between us in my experimentation. I am now more recently exploring the spiritual connection between us through sound and performance and what I can learn from it.
