About
Carruthers is a UK-based artist working in expanded fields of drawing. Often playing with ideas of material significance, scale, uncertainty and transformation she creates propositions which invite us to think about what it means to be human and what survival might look like.
'I want to acknowledge the land we stand on and present the world as it is while at the same time, embody an aesthetic that speaks of today’s uncertain political and ecological moment. In very small ways, I am exploring tactics for survival and wondering how to prepare for the not-known and for the accidental futures that go far beyond a human lifetime'.
