Ruth Geneslaw - Carved Wood Vignettes


Artist’s Statement

My carved and painted wood tableaux are reflections of my observations on contemporary life. Often conceived as visual puns, they are vehicles for expressing the quirkiness and irony of contemporary life. The pieces often explore our use of language in a literal sense, conjuring up some rather absurd imagery, but they are intended to resonate on more than one level. To the casual observer, the works appear amusing and toy like; but further examination
reveals an underlying comment on some aspect of the human condition. In this way,
I have addressed environmental, political and social themes.
