Artist Bio

Louise Fago-Ruskin is an artist, writer, researcher and educator currently living and working in the South West of England. Her interdisciplinary visual practice stems from an abiding interest in psychological and philosophical disciplines. Her practice is a varied one, from performance to photography, installation and writing, as she confronts perplexities held within firm ideological belief systems and modes of thought-control. Louise's current research examines notions of the numinous within contemporary art practice alongside the wider themes of migration and exile. 

Fago-Ruskin’s work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally in group shows such as The Hyeres Festival of Fashion and Photography (Hyeres, France), Arles Photography Open Salon(Installation, Arles),Parallax (La Galleria, London) and La Galleria Sakura (Paris). Works have also been nominated for a variety of awards including “Foam- What's Next: A Search into the Future of Photography.”

She has taken part in the Arquetopia International Mentorship Programme - a highly respected not-for-profit organization in Puebla, Mexico and has published a photographic essay in Image Journal. Her photographic work and writing is also included in The Liminal Loop, ed. Timothy L Carson (Lutterworth Press) and has been featured in Dodho Magazine. She has also recently completed the eight-month CURAE programme led by Erik Kessels and organized by PHMuseum.
