Press Release

Drawing on issues that emerged from the dawn of true Feminist theory in the ‘70’s, Ruth Schreiber’s work is a sensitive body of art that navigates its way through the complex flux of human life cycles.  Her works often revolve around her role as mother: birth, fertility, family, identity, memory and death.  Sculpting in a variety of media, Schreiber is dynamic in her use of materials, allowing her to explore feel and texture, which will be unique to each piece.  Having exhibited widely, Ruth Schreiber currently works and lives in Jerusalem, Israel.

 


Artist Statement

I was a young mother in northern California during the early 70s, and joined a consciousness raising group. This was at the height of the feminist revolution, “Our Bodies Ourselves” had just been published, and the prevailing zeitgeist had a deep and lasting influence on me. I was particularly fascinated by the conflicting prevailing attitudes not only to child rearing and division of labor between parents, but especially to childbirth and nursing. I subsequently helped establish similar groups for other women. Since becoming an artist, I have found that these debates still resonate with me and I am drawn to exploring life cycle issues- topics which relate closely to my role as a mother: birth, fertility, family, identity, memory, heritage, death and the related subjects of the body, health, beauty and aging.
