She\u2019s committed to telling stories about the joys and challenges of daily life, especially for those living in African-American communities.<\/p>\n<p>To say her pieces are remarkable is an understatement. Not only are her works life-sized, but they\u2019re also entirely handstitched with tapestry yarns. Her ability to blend and merge fibre is unmatched. Upon close inspection, the viewer is amazed at the intricacy of layer upon layer of colour and stitch. The fact a single piece can take at least a year to create becomes readily apparent when viewed up close.<\/p>\n<p>Ruth\u2019s unabashed sharing of her artistic journey is a must-read. You\u2019ll learn as much about the influence of politics and race on her work as you will her stitching techniques and colour theory. We\u2019re so grateful for her honesty and encouragement to our readers.<\/p>\n<p>We also invite you to view her work and process in this short video:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruth Miller cares as much about the narratives of her work as she does the actual images themselves.
