Ruben Bowers Storey

Ruben Bowers Storey is an interdisciplinary artist based in St Ives, whose practice commonly merges the boundaries of photography and sculpture, aiming to create discourses surrounding the materiality of landscape and image.

The region of Penwith is the focus of Storey’s investigations of place – grown from research into Land art which is combined with his personally woven knowledge of the St Ives School of Art. Approaching landscape as a plural structure that resides in the spirit of place, he detaches himself from singular visual compositions that negate the experience of a prolonged existence in a known space.

Often working with collage, Storey replaces the seemingly infinite granite of Penwith with ephemerally printed amalgamations of photographs. An elongated dialogue is created between the original and the reproduction, in both his sculptures and collaged documentations of found, and altered, material.
