Hutchinson lives and works in Melbourne.
Read MoreRuth Hutchinson works across sculpture and painting. She draws multifarious imagery from both literal and invented sources — from the realms of imagination, myth and, more literally, from the world around her. Using a combination of technical dexterity and strange subject matter, Hutchinson creates a world of imagery that lures and repels in equal measure.
In 1998 Hutchinson presented Gadgets, Gizmos, Giveaways, Marital Aids at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne.
