Ruth Le Gear
As a hybrid artist, Ruth Le Gear's (b.1985) practice mediates between nature, homeopathic intervention, and environmental art. Her practice and research emerge from collaborations and fieldwork projects which examine the qualities of water and the memories held within. Le Gear works with various water bodies including Arctic Icebergs, the Baltic sea and Irish lakes and waterfalls to listen to the mystical, mythical and metaphysical forces that act upon and interact with these water bodies.
Her practice finds form in moving image, the still image, sound, and installation.
A graduate of GMIT CCAM, Le Gear has exhibited solo at Center of Contemporary Art, Gdansk (2015) Polar Forces: universe of an iceberg at Leitrim Sculpture Centre and Cork Film Centre (2013). Water that Sleeps at Galway Arts Centre (2009)
