“Animula”

 

Artist Statement:

“The abandoned mills and tanneries of my youth in the Northeast, with their rust grey tones, and the majestic splendor of the Pacific Northwest inform the visual and aesthetic language present in my work. These residual sites serve as the foundation for my work, which allows for a reinterpretation of the space into abstracted images. The evidence of of physical and experiential textures of crumbled brick and concrete juxtaposed with lush natural beauty serve to represent the frailties of humanity and the erosion of lives that once existed.”

 

William Ruller’s residency and exhibition “Animula” ran from November 4th, 2013 to January 11th, 2014.
