Ruth Jones
Ruth Jones is an artist based in South Wales. Her work explores liminality
and threshold states. Through installation, film and sound works, she
creates physical or psychological spaces in which an experience of
liminality can occur. Recent work has focused on the relationship between
humans, animals and the land, particularly in rural areas.
The work draws on magico-mythological readings of the land as well as recent re-conceptualisations of land and rural spaces in fields such as anthropology and cultural geography. Ruth is a member of the LAND2 research network based at UWE, Bristol.
