Ruby Bailey // L00bi
Artist working across sculpture, installation, and image-making to explore how identity, memory, and desire are shaped through layered realities - both virtual and physical.
Hybrid studio practice: Combining metal, resin, paint, salvaged screens, digital renderings, print, and fabricated objects.
Core themes: Performativity, self-curation, symbolic languages, embodiment, cyber-imaginaries, speculative tools, ancient geology, Southern African landscapes, and the emotional affect of The Online.
Current focus: Expanding the Loobtopia/Ethereality worlds through resin and metal sculpture, paintings on aluminum, and modular video installations that conceptualise a liminal, digital, sublime.
