Los
Gatos Cinema: Ruth Kedar
Description
Ruth Kedar is an artist with extensive design and architectural training.
Her career has always had an interdisciplinary flavor. Art and design
are her passion. Her interests and projects refuse to belong to a single
category or discipline. They are intertwined and span from three-dimensional
design to monotypes, from silk-screen to computer graphics through interface
design and multi-media. Her diverse and broad background has also proven
indispensable in her teaching career at the Stanford University's interdisciplinary
Art and Design Program.
In
her art Ruth Kedar uses the new technologies as opportunities for exploration
and growth and as tools of expression to be added to an ever expanding
vocabulary. She is always probing and stretching the intended applications
of her medium of choice in order to accommodate her own visions during
the creative process. In this creative process, ideas and tools are deeply
interconnected, influencing the course and direction of the final result.
"More
than making single images, I develop logical structures that create new
visual progressions" - states the artist. "I work in many layers.
My philosophy and aesthetics are the fibers that run through them, connecting,
expanding. The creative process, this dialog between self and medium evolves
into visual languages, their grammar ever changing to encompass new avenues
of thought. Therefore my medium of choice is always a vehicle that allows
variations and exploration."
