Rusty Scruby’s Bamboo features one of the strongest and most ancient images humans have used through the centuries, mother and child. There is pure happiness emanating from this artwork. We are all the same and each of us has experienced this moment personally.
I see the construction of this work, woven together with hundreds of pieces of paper, as representing each individual on the planet. It is woven together to create one great work of art in the form of a tapestry—like creation.
