Louise Rutledge


This is stupid. This should mean more. This is it. Louise Rutledge is constantly questioning, joking and intervening; trying to say everything, trying to say nothing, trying to say something. Ideas of play and irony and critique. Making a nuisance, tongue in cheek, tongue in mouth, tongue somewhere. Antagonistic propositions, a penance for the banal, bouncy balls, humour, and diversion tactics of the absurd.
