Ruth Spencer Jolly is an emerging artist from Birmingham. She recently graduated from the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford and is currently Artist in Residence at St George’s School, Ascot. She has been noted as ‘one to watch’, profiled on Radio 3 Young Artists’ Day in 2015 and has featured in the Bloomberg New Contemporaries exhibitions this year. She specialises in an interdisciplinary practice called ‘Musart’ which lies in the grey zone between the visual arts and music.

I work predominantly in the medium of moving-image, which allows me marry together my interest in the visual arts and my love of music. I've always paid close attention to the way in which sound can support a visual message but I have started to unshackle the musical dimension of my work from its role as accessory to visual material. I’m working on ‘conceptual compositions’ which lie within the indistinct division between art and music
