“One thing about what Ruth Kneass does that often strikes me is her use of time-worn materials to create a timeless work of art. Obviously, this applies most to the driftwood and found objects. I think she doesn't try to perfect those pieces, they are beautiful as they are, so much as sculpt them into a state of grace, a timelessness that conjoins the handiwork of their creator (time, wind, sun and sea) with the artistic eye of their founder (Kneass). The mobiles can be viewed as clocks unbound by time, moved by a natural animus that doesn’t signify progress or time passing, but something removed from time and more perfect.“
