Ruth Uglow 's aquatints investigate the mechanics of organic life, as a magnified sensual experience, capturing the animation of the organic forms that she immerses herself within. She depicts her experience as though she were entering an inner world or cavity inside the belly of the earth, revealing her fascination with hybridization, fertility and explosive growth.
