Raw Material Exhibition by Susan Ruptash & Doris Purchase
Although their work contrasts in many ways, Susan Ruptash and Doris Purchase share a desire to bring attention to overlooked objects – for Susan it is viewing the paper itself as art rather than a vehicle upon which to make art. For Doris it is highlighting the frame and supporting parts of art. The attraction is in the opposites supporting each other in subtleness of colour or lack thereof, a love of the seemingly simple statement and presentation.
