GINNY RUFFNER
"Art is not what I do: its who I am. My work has always encompassed
both curiosity and beauty, but since I've recently rearranged the
synapses in my brain it has evolved into a curiosity about beauty.
What does it mean? How is its appreciation taught? How does it
manifest itself in things as different as rope and fish?" -Ginny Ruffner
