Ruthy talked to us today, and we were told to record the influences she found in creating her art.

Louise Bourgeouis was one of Ruthy's inspirational artists.

A bit from wikipedia: Louise Joséphine Bourgeois was a French-American artist and sculptor, best known for her contributions to both modern and contemporary art.

She is recognized today as the founder of confessional art.

In the late 1940s, she turned to sculpture. Though her works are abstract, they are suggestive of the human figure and express themes of betrayal, anxiety, and loneliness. Her work was wholly autobiographical, inspired by her childhood trauma of discovering that her English governess was also her father’s mistress.

We also looked to Sigur Ros, an Icelandic band who finds inspiration from their home to create art

She told us that you can find much art in the sites you work in, and use the space around you as inspiration.
