Ruth Chambers is an artist working out of Regina, Saskatchewan. As an installation artist, she works with a wide range of media. Her artworks have incorporated everything from unfired clay and found objects to the latest in audio-visual media. Chambers’ work has also explored a vast array of thematic elements. Some of her sculptures have depicted inner elements of the human body, depicted in such a way that they force questions about the relationship between the physical and the metaphysical.^[1] Other works by Chambers combine elements of classical design (such as Tuscan order columns) with fragile natural imagery, such as fluttering oak leaves.

[edit] Chambers' art and exhibitions

Chamber’s more recent installation art explores both natural and architectural themes. Recent pieces incorporate unfired clay objects placed in darkened space; the pieces are then activated by dramatic lighting and visual projections^[1]. This type of work is both thought provoking and evocative of completely visceral reactions.

Chambers has exhibited throughout both Canada and the United States. She is a founding member of Petri’s Quadrille, a Regina-based artists’ collective. She has exhibited at institutions such as the Burlington Art Centre, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and the Mackenzie Art Gallery in Regina, Saskatchewan.
