Let’s rest here
Acrylic on canvas
112 X 91cm
Let’s rest here was exhibited as part of Ruby’s solo exhibition ‘See you at the River’ at No Vacancy Gallery in Melbourne, 2024. This painting was inspired by a photography walk Ruby took along the banks of the Merri Creek in Brunswick, Naarm. Ruby was struggling with connecting to nature living in a large city – she took her camera to the Merri creek looking for connection and inspiration. This painitng marked an important moment for the creation of this collection, sparking inspiration and drive to continuing exploring what was emerging. The title represents sitting down to rest on a log along the river before continuing on the journey.
