About

Join artists Ruby Campion and Yanaëlle Ritter as they invite you take over the gallery once again for February Half Term. More information coming soon…Access informationWe will be offering a designated quieter, seated area for families and groups who would prefer a more relaxed experience. We have sensory bags including noise-cancelling headphones and fidgets available to collect from the ground floor foyer to use for your visit. A sensory space with weighted blankets, sensory toys and cushions will be available in Studio 1 alongside a reading tent for those who'd like to take a break from activities. About Ruby CampionRuby is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative practice explores the use of storytelling to reshape our relationship with the world around us, particularly the natural environment. They engage with objects and artefacts, working to question conventional hierarchies of usefulness, embracing materials subject to change and decay over time, reconnecting with natural cycles and processes of change. They are a recent graduate from the University of Brighton Fine Art course where their study focused on sculpture, process, and performance; exploring sense of place and meaning through movement with found objects and puppetry work. They have developed and supported workshops centring experimental play and found objects as well as practical techniques in ceramics and painting. Currently, their practice is moving towards artworks offered as gifts to places, people, and communities as opposed to work intended for conventional gallery spaces. ruby (@gluemuseum) • Instagram photos and videosAbout Yanaëlle RitterYanaëlle Ritter is a contemporary dance artist based in Eastbourne.
