The other side of the river 

Acrylic on canvas
112 X 91cm







The other side of the river
was exhibited as part of Ruby’s solo exhibition ‘See you at the River’ at No Vacancy Gallery in Melbourne, 2024.
This artwork represents a memory - when Ruby swam in the Murray River on the morning of her grandmothers funeral. It was a moment where Ruby said goodbye to Bev. Ruby created this artwork to reflect her perception of her grandmother passing over. Ruby likes to imagine that when she might visit the river again, her grandmother’s spirit will be there – just on the other side.
