Ruth Rosengarten is a writer, artist and dog lover. She spent many years writing as an art historian but in recent years has moved towards memoir, hybrid writing and poetry. She talks of both her writing and visual practice as strongly indebted to the semantics and aesthetics of collage. In its earliest form, her hybrid book Over, was shortlisted for Discoveries 2022. It is a genre-defying work of lyrical, hybrid prose/poetry, with themes of ageing, sexuality, parenting, attachment and loss woven into musings around works of art, cinema and literature.
