Degree Show Review- Ruth Murray


Ruth Murray

‘My work explores the relationship between the drawn, printed and stitched mark.'

In my latest project, I experimented with using embroidery within my prints.  I felt like this really created a new depth to my work; making it stonger and more interesting. This is why Ruth’s work stood out to me. The mix of hand and digital print against the embroidery creates a strong collection.



Ruth’s collection focused on ‘the energy of the coastal landscape’ this was expressed through mark making and vibrant colours. It was clear, looking at her portfolio, that Ruth has experimented and explored different techniques as much as possible so that her final work was perfect. I feel that embroidery within print develops a new level to print design; new shapes can be created on top of initial designs, adding texture and detail.
