The "Art For Habitat" program will create outdoor crocheted temporary art installations along the Hutchinson Parkway in the Pelham Bay area to beautify and make visible the preservation of local habitats for species survival made possible by working alongside NYC agencies.
Ruth Marshall's fine art textiles explore the creative possibilities of crochet and knitting with an emphasis of interpreting the nature of flora and fauna. Her intention is to execute these crafts to a high level of excellence. She wishes people to see the fragility and beauty of our planet while experiencing the wonder of nature. Sharing knowledge about environmental and conservation concerns and including endangered or extinct species if of considerable importance to my practice. She is invigorated to continue these endeavors demonstrating the extent of expression possible in creative fiber and textile structures.
