Ruth –
The Bird Has Flown

“Ruth Duckworth died in 2009 at the age of ninety. I painted her head lying in state, looking up at one of her own vessels, which had held a winged shape that fit into a slot. I removed the winged shape and called the painting Ruth—The Bird has Flown.”

“A tribute to Ruth Duckworth who has just died at the age of 90.”
