Art career
Since
1993, Horam had worked at the Jerusalem Printing Workshop. Her monotype prints
are developed from multi-layered freely printed meshes. In the process she
interposes various materials such as paper cuttings, leaves, twigs, scraps of
fabric, nature or urban landscape photos.
She worked on multimedia paper art techniques, based on screen printing.
Horam
incorporates various techniques in her work: freehand or photocopied screen
prints, brush touches and more. Most of these techniques she developed and
perfected throughout her career.
Horam
often uses paper cuttings, leaves and twigs, fabric tears, nature and urban
landscape photographs, and combines them with techniques such as drawing and
screens to create various effects, such as transparency, depth and a unique
color scale.
Ruth
Horam's work incorporates the different cultural impacts she absorbed while
living in various countries. Her own unique signature can be felt and
experienced throughout her creation, which today is mostly inspired by the city
of Jerusalem and the landscapes of Israel.
Her works are conceived and done in groups following a theme,
each print being a unique creation.
Horam had produced environmental sculptures in Jerusalem and other parts of Israel.
Some of her work is carried out in collaboration with sculptress Magdalena
Hefetz. Horam's focal point was ecology and recycling, using such materials as
old car parts. Ruth Horam created statues and wall art from
recycled materials such as scrapped cars, while placing an emphasis on
environmental and social issues. Her art is displayed at universities, public
institutions and schools. Her paintings are featured on numerous prose,
poetry book covers and magazines, by publications such as "The Bialik
Institute", "Yedioth Ahronot Publishing", "Carmel
Publishing", "Keshev Le'Shira" and others.
