Craft ACT: Craft and Design Centre is excited to announce Ruth Hingston and Jodie Hatcher as the selected recipients for the 2015 Artist-in-Residence Program.

Jodie Hatcher is a Designer-maker based in Sheffield. Jodie's work focuses on the exploration of the weaving process and uses this to produce sculptural objects, which has been a continual development since producing her graduate collection.  The development of the forms has grown since the time she spent in Australia and New Zealand; the landscapes and culture fuelling the development of these forms. 

Ruth Hingston is a Canberra-based visual artist who enjoys working with a diverse range of mixed media. Her practice is informed by a background in drawing, illustration, textiles and fashion. She enjoys exploring the tensions of paradoxical observations. Ruth's work explores the subtle relationships between interiors and exteriors. Her work focuses on the complex interactions between these spaces and the perceptions of the people who live in them-landscapes, houses and domestic life. Ruth has made an extended study of residents' responses to landscapes by observing their choice and construction of domestic vernacular architecture.
