Patch by Ruth

Creator: Ruth
Location: Bristol; UK
Story: This patch represents the women artists who have inspired me and let me believe that my bedroom drawing, making and sewing could be taken seriously and that I could become an artist too.

Cornelia Parker, Rachel Whiteread, Tracey Emin, Clarissa Galliano, Frida Khalo, Phyllida Barlow, Vivian Westwood, Mary Quant, Sarah Lucas, Sister Corita Kent, Louise bourgeois, to name just a few.

I still think about that little girl dreaming that she might one day be an artist, I feel lucky that I get to do that in my real life now I’m all grown up!
