ruth gwily


i love the straight forwardness and sincerity of Gwily's illustrations.
art is made initially by the artist for him/herself. "institutionalizing" it is as painful and traumatic as it is rewarding. you are no longer doing this on your own terms, and you expose yourself to criticism. i call this piece "nose job" because it is something you do for yourelf, yet it is also a sacrifice in order to become part of a group.
