Artwork Description
Ginny Ruffner's sculptures take the viewer on a bizarre and fantastical journey through her stories. In A Girl's Guide to Fashion Evolution, Ruffner explores what it means to be female. The ribbons, jewelry, and lace seem frivolous when placed next to objects that evoke adventure and excitement, such as a pyramid, campfire, or squid.
