Ruth Hassall

Ruth Hassall is an Australian contemporary artist who is currently living and working in Switzerland.

Hassall works in a diverse variety of mediums including photography, sculpture, installation, drawing and video construction.  Her current practise is focused on painting in both acrylic and oil medium.

The themes Hassall constructs her works around have both a personal and global metaphysics.  Hassall uses personal experience and landscape to construct imagery that defines the subconscience and creates moments of tension and polarity to her works so that the viewer is infinately aware that something lies beyond what they see.

Her current work focuses on collaborative initiatives and conntections with international artists such as Cash Brown, Annelen Käferstein and Marissa Purcell. Through this process Hassall fuses energy and discourse into works of free association of cultural hybridity which become manifestions of these cultural exchanges.
