Sculptor Ruth Moilliet introduces her new exhibition at The Atkinson; FOFO: fear of finding out.
Exhibition tours begin at: 11am / 12pm / 1pm
FOFO looks at species decline and the devastating impact of mass consumerism on the natural world. Ruth will give short introductions to her work, offering insight into her creative process, inspirations and research.
Having celebrated the botanical world in her work for many years, Ruth Moilliet’s bold and engaging sculptures now look at the decline of plant species, their pollinators and the natural world as a whole. Her initial studies highlighted the impact the fossil fuel industry has on our planet where she began to use found, recycled plastic materials to produce her work. The new additions shown in this exhibition encourage discussion around the responsibilities we have as individuals to prevent further decline through our daily activities and the items in our lives.
Exhibition continues: 26 October 2024 – 8 March 2025
