Ruth Thorne-Thomsen
Ruth Thorne-Thomsen, (American, 1943) in her mastery of pinhole
photography, creates scenes that feel like ancient myths. Her work makes
tangible imagery from humorous, intriguing or confounding textural
sources. Combining the scale of vast landscapes with the intimacy of a
well-kept secret, these charming, small-scale works seem to have been made
centuries ago. She is the recipient of two National Endowment for the Arts
fellowships and her work is in many major museum collections.
