About the Item

Ruby Palmer’s new wall constructions and cut paper pieces occupy her favorite format: the liminal space between painting and sculpture. Though decidedly three-dimensional, Palmer’s works never quite leave the flatness of the wall, for reasons the artist attributes to her formal education as a painter who learned to see and depict within the limits of two dimensions. That training informs but never quite dictates her approach, which also pays special attention to surface, materiality, and the dynamics of light and shadow. Palmer’s hybrid pieces deliberately engage with both pictorial space and actual space, asking viewers to experience them from different vantage points and distances. Ruby Palmer was born in Boston, MA and grew up in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Trained as an abstract painter at Hampshire College (BA 1988-92), she started experimenting with sculpture and installation at the School of Visual Arts in NYC (MFA 1998-2000). In 1999 she was awarded a Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant for Painters and Sculptors. In March 2020, several of Palmer’s large constructions were included in a group exhibition at the Albany International Airport (NY). Ruby has exhibited her work at the Woodstock Byrdcliff Guild, (Woodstock, NY ); Opalka Gallery (Albany, NY); LABspace (Hillsdale, NY); Jeff Bailey Gallery (Hudson, NY); The Samuel Dorsky Museum (New Paltz, NY); Morgan Lehman Gallery (NYC); Page Bond Gallery (Richmond, VA); Geoffrey Young Gallery (Great Barrington, MA); Instar Lodge (Germantown, NY); and Smack Mellon (Brooklyn, NY). In 2016, the artist founded ARTalks, an artist lecture series held at the Morton Memorial Library in Rhinecliff, NY. Palmer has worked and lived in Rhinecliff since 2011.
