Ruth Sneesby is a photographic artist based in the East Midlands. Drawing inspiration from the natural world her creative practice encompasses both digital and alternative photography and other experimental artistic practices.

Considering the relationship between human culture and nature, her work aims to give a voice and visual context to ecological issues. Interested in the juxtaposition between natural and artificial materials her practice demonstrates nature impacted by human intervention and considers the wider ethical and ecological implications of human activity upon environments and wildlife. Exploring the contradiction between offering initial visual attraction whilst subsequently presenting wider messages of concern, she seeks to create beauty where it might otherwise not exist.

Addressing issues such as waste culture, plastic and other environmental pollution, biodiversity and species loss, she explores narratives concerning the loss of nature, or the loss of the natural, and suggests future outcomes in which the artificial subdues, merges with, or replaces nature.
