about

Rubee Hay is a creative practitioner, currently working in Naarm/Melbourne, VIC.

Rubee Hay is a sentimentalist, artist, and designer. Her work is deeply rooted in the notion of the self-portrait, and how this can be represented in different practices. Through writing, drawing, and fashion design, her work explores the influence of culture and history on the individual and identity.

Sentimentality is at the core of her practice, with a fixation on the importance of the hand, the influence of touch, and connections through the act of dressing and making.

Her work survives on quietness. A subtlety and simplicity, held closely and tightly.
