Ruth Gilmour,
1990, Scotland
I am currently undertaking a PhD in artistic research at the Royal College of Art in London. Working from my home studio, I explore the materiality of silk to contribute towards health and healing discourses, within the broader fields of applied and contemporary art practice.
