Heather Ruthig - The Sculpted Tarot
For Heather Ruthig, designing a Tarot card deck has been an idea percolating for many years. It has become a reality with the help of her dear friend Stephanie Bickell. Stephanie’s support and help researching the symbolism of the cards and corresponding plants was invaluable. Ceramics is new to Heather, but a natural evolution to her practice. The urethane resin and silicone products that she used previously to create her sculptural pieces were too toxic for her to be comfortable to continue using. Ceramics has allowed Heather to do her artwork in a safer, less harmful way to the environment.
