Soulful vocals caress gentle ukulele, stitched together with lilting flute create the sonic pallet of multidisciplinary artist The Emerald Ruby. Working out of Awabakal and Wollomi land her arts practice is prolific and multifaceted encompassing performance, composition, fine arts, photography, videography, fashion design and the written word. The Emerald Ruby’s artistic exploits often explore her experiences moving through the world as a late diagnosed Autistic human. A kaleidoscope of influences nourish every performance from this multi-genre powerhouse - The hazy virtuosity of 18th century french flute music, chaotic abstractions of a moonlit jazz jam, trading traditional jigs and reels at a folk session interweave with a decade of recording and journeying with music across the east coast of Australia. Most recently she’s been commissioned by the ABC to write a collection of Flute Duets about finding beauty amongst the red tape which governs her life as a disabled artist.
