Ruby Perkins (b. 2000) translates collaged photos into paintings and drawings to create intangible and
physical spaces recollected from memory. With an exploration on womanhood, connection, and tenderness,
her recent body of work explores world-building and shifting figures moving through different environments,
each with another purpose. She pieces together identities through her paintings and drawings while reflectin
on artifacts, hand-me-downs, and family photos to illuminate their wholeness. Her approach seek to assemble
a deeper sense of self and shared history using nostalgia to confront and embrace the complexities of personal
and collective narratives. Her work lies in the names she inherits, where they have been, and where they will go.
