Overview
Jennifer Ling Datchuk and Tammie Rubin: Press Hold On The Hand
Datchuk and Rubin share a language and depth of materials rooted in domesticity, migrations, and hope. Press Hold On The Hand  looks at our collective and cumulative grief, personally and globally, and asks viewers to pause, reflect, and take stock of the signs and affirmations that keep us moving forward.

Ruiz-Healy Art is delighted to showcase the two-person exhibition Press Hold On The Hand, featuring the works of artists Jennifer Ling Datchuk and Tammie Rubin. The exhibition opens on Wednesday, November 29th, with a reception from 6:00-8:00 PM.

 

Jennifer Ling Datchuk’s work explores her layered identity–as a woman, a Chinese woman, an “American,” and a third-culture kid. Through material culture, the history of craft, and by championing the handmade, Datchuk challenges the social, political, and cultural systems that continue to hold women back. Drawing from her background in ceramics, particularly her affinity for porcelain's dual symbolic qualities of fragility and resilience, the artist skillfully crafts intricate objects that contribute to the resistance against the shared female adversities. 

 

Tammie Rubin is a ceramic sculptor and installation artist whose practice considers the intrinsic power of objects and coded symbols as signifiers and relics. Rubin’s works evoke ritual moments of physical, metaphysical, and spiritual escape by weaving together familial and historical narratives, mapping data, and magical thinking. She also contemplates ideas of authenticity and inherited meanings that invite new considerations, opening dream-like spaces of unexpected associations and dislocations. 

 

Jennifer Ling Datchuk & Tammie Rubin: Press Hold On The Hand will be on view at our San Antonio gallery through January 2024. For inquiries regarding our gallery programming or to schedule a private appointment outside our regular gallery hours, please email info@ruizhealyart.com or call 210.804.2219.​​​​​​​
