Ruth Baker

Ruthie Baker is a photographer and mixed media artist working primarily with analog and alternative photographic processes. Her work combines photography, collage, poetry, and sculpture, exploring how analog photographic processes can be combined with other mediums to create something strange and new.

Ruthie is interested in capturing the mundane experiences of daily life, using poetry, patterns, and personal objects to examine themes of memory, tradition, self, and family. Her work centers on the emotional significance of modest objects and interpersonal relationships, as well as the fragility of human life.

She received her Bachelor of Arts in Film and Media Studies from Emory University and is currently a second-year MFA Candidate at UMass.
