Ruth Gibbons

Ruth is a Sensory Anthropologist who works in different mediums to explore the experiences and expressions of people's everyday lives.  Ruth currently works at Massey University   Ruth is interested in interior dialogue, memory, imagination, bodily perception, embodied knowledge and silences, and uses visual, sensory and bodily perception within her collaborative arts practice. Her work is multi-layered multi-media - including digital animation, sculpture, soundscapes, experimental film and digital collage- using experimental research methods to understand peoples lived experiences. . 

 

Ruth is also an entrepreneur as she has taken her research into practical  areas.  Keep an eye open for the release of Tylt (https://www.tyltify.com/)   which won a Red Dot design award in 2024.

 

There is so much pressure around reaching what are claimed are 'normal' goals and expectations in life but the reality is that there are valid different ways of being and these need to be celebrated.  Ruth draws on her research as an anthropologist to create the designs in her store.
