Ruthie Newman's latest ceramics feature images of silenced women

Ruthie Newman’s latest ceramics show her movement from vessels to sculpture. A reception on April 5 will introduce her show at the Orcas Center through the month of April.

From Andrea Hendrick

Ruthie Newman’s new ceramics will be on display at the Orcas Center April 5 through April 30.

Ms Newman says, “The shooting by the Taliban in Pakistan of Malala Yousafzi, a 14 year old girl advocating education for girls, and the Newtown massacre of innocent children” impacted her view of what she could say through her art. All the media images have led to a new perspective.

After over 50 years of of working in clay she has taken a new direction – from vessel to sculpture. These ceramic panels and freestanding pieces have all been created in the last year and a half. The public is invited to a reception on Friday, April 5 from 5.30 to 7 pm.
