The Engineer

by
Ruth Piper

(2004)


This British artist got her degree in fashion design, went on to do quite well as an illustrator and designer, and then went back to school to study painting. She's part of a contemporary art movement called The New Constructivists. They argue that people use the cultural resources around them to construct meaning, resisting and undermining various forms of social control.
