Pausing on a work in progress, Ruth Speer (septemberwildflowers) reveals more about her life outside the studio. “If I put my hand there, it wouldn’t work,” says #WHPinthestudio guest curator Helen Downie (unskilledworker). “There’s a tenderness to it. She’s painting someone she has a close connection to.” The woman Ruth is drawing is the same person who drew the henna art on her hand. Photo by septemberwildflowers
