The Inside

This mural is a window into a different reality. A sort of imaginary landscape, other-worldly and peaceful. A place where the imagination can be free and anything is possible. Ruth Frances is a Cape Town based artist, illustrator and maker of things. In her work she engage with themes of identity, perception, consciousness, memory and value. She is interested in understanding the concept of the “self” as being constructed from polarities. Where are these elements in opposition and where do they counter-balance one another? She tries to explore each of these concepts from a personal view point and in this way attempt to better comprehend and navigate the material and abstract aspects of this world in which she literally and figuratively ‘finds’ herself.​ Her main vehicle of expression is painting.
