Ruby Childs

Initially Ruby delve into using 3D software to create landscapes formed from simple lines, reflecting the layering process seen in lines when creating patterns from Moire. Moire is a pattern whereby we layer lines on one another creating patterns only visible to the eye. This transformed to become landscapes of beauty and depth, and an abstraction away from Moire itself.

3D Design software allows us to test and combine materials in ways we cannot physically do. This enables us to be inventive with our combinations, whilst also surpassing and breaking a materials physical property. Hence can reduce the carbon footprint of the textiles industry, by reducing the amount we test and develop.

Ruby furthered her work into forming interactive landscapes. This enabled her to create interactive experiences, where one can navigate and explore the surface. Hence each creating different and new viewports depending on interest.

Additionally, Ruby has been increasingly involved with the world of NFTs, as a new way to collect and share digital artworks. NFTs both enable and increase accessibility to art, however the creative process itself is not yet democratized. Hence within her interactive landscapes she enables the ability to create snapshots to sell on NFT websites.

Here, Ruby introduces us to creating our own NFTs through the concept of a snapshot. Open the menu and select camera on your view and you'll now have a downloadable image. Feel free to walk through the video tutorial on how to create an NFT whilst navigating the world of the sublime.
