Meet the Artist at miniMoCA518

There will be an opportunity to Meet the Artist: Ruby Palmer from 6-7 pm at the corner of Adams Street and Hudson Ave at the miniMoCA518. The piece Blue Ruin transports the viewer to a magical landscape inhabited by tiny deer, who peer at one another around the corners of a vividly painted architectural folly. Ruby Palmer is a Hudson Valley-based artist who reimagines the memory of a dream-like place or structure, and the scale of our longing for such places. Palmer notes, 'The speed at which I am able to make the models or maquettes, combined with an intention to not overthink them, has led me to new territory which I find really inspiring. I wanted to explore ideas in three dimensions without taking up a lot of room, and so beginning with materials found in my studio, I started making models and placing them in a white-washed dollhouse that was built for my daughters. This allows me to see which work I might want to pursue on a large scale.' miniMoCA518 is a unique public art gallery, as well as an incubator for artists to experiment with new work.
