Ruta Wilson

Ruta  Wilson is not your everyday local artist - she  collects various types of old scrap metal, which she subsequently converts into   amazing artistic creations occassionally combining fused and stained glass. 

Some  of the art is playful and ranges from utilitarian to peculiar. 

The horse statue is wonderfully majestic - "Casey"  is made from all manner of early industrial machine parts. Here’s a perfect  example of how the components of the statue each tell a different part of the story, which can be perceived to be ‘the horse’s final triumph over the   machine’. Indeed the legs are heavy industrial wrenches welded into claw feet   from a bathtub. The chest is the grill from an old tractor and the ribs are   barrel hoops. Two or more tractor seats compose the hind quarters and a   mysterious metal mane shimmers on top of the horse’s neck.

 She  loves the challenge of new commissions and welcome ideas from all. Ruta will   attest, nothing beats the in-person viewing of her works! www.westrockartmetal.com
