Degree show sculptures plan
The University of East London, Fine Arts BA Level 6
Monday 3rd May 2021
The University of East London, The Container Space
During Ruby Khan’s third year at university, there were national lockdowns where she faced challenges accommodating to working from home as universities were partly open. She started exploring photography, experimenting with lights and shadows by creating lanterns by cutting out delicate small pieces. The lanterns express her childhood reminiscence of the lights and shadows that appeared in her bedroom. This control unveiled her accomplishments in steps to explore in-depth photography and installation. Ruby's rolls of paper are approximately ten metres long altogether; she had about three rolls to achieve and modify into sculptures. To prepare for her degree show it took almost three months for her to accomplish ten metres of lino prints all down under pressure in a short time scale. The planning in the container space involved photography, installation, light, shadow and sculptures. This is how it began. The final outcomes can be seen in the exhibitions section.

Lockdown Art
During Ruby Khan’s second year at university, there were national lockdowns where she battled adjusting to working from home as universities were shut. Before the first lockdown began, she managed to finish the laser pieces she transformed into a sculpture. She began exploring photography, experimenting with lights and shadows into the laser piece. The sculpture represents her childhood perception of journeys around London. She also wanted to relate to the pandemic; that there is a bright light coming after a difficult tunnel. This influence proved her works in stages to experiment in depth with photography.

A Melancholic Journey
The University of East London - Fine Arts BA Level 5
Friday 21st November 2019
The University of East London, The Corridor, Ava Building
Ruby Khan’s work observes both the physical and emotional journey she has undertaken throughout her life. The work presented here explores her journey as an individual, and the memories of confidence-building day trips of London organised by Contact A Family. She has used the screenprint printmaking method to create these works. Her work communicates these memories, her work utilises layering to convey these repeated experiences; and the impact it had on her life where she felt overwhelmed. She has influences coming from both of these artists Idris Khan and Stephanie Jung. Also, her work communicates the diversity of London as London is a city full of colours and excitement. Throughout the city, she has explored the use of colours inspired by the 80s disco music; and she was raised with the 80s music throughout her emotional journey. She has also been influenced by the use of colour; from David Bowie with Damien Hirst. She has used rolls of papers and created repeated screen prints in depth.
Ruby's rolls of paper are approximately 10 metres long. These are close up installation shots from the roll of paper.

A Contemporary Performance
The University of East London - Fine Arts BA Level 4
Monday 12th November 2018
The University of East London, Ava Building
Ruby Khan has performed a contemporary performance using acrylic paints. She has performed an action painting inspired by Jackson Pollock; threw acrylic paints out of tubes onto MDF board. Here are some photos from the contemporary action painting performance. The performance represents her memory, on how it affected her at a young age with a diagnosis of speech-language impairment. This performance conveys her use of colours; where she did not understand the basic colours at a young age. Ruby attended art therapy sessions throughout her childhood; where she remained abstract and learned the colours. She attempted to experiment and show her experiences, memories and journeys. During her first year at university, she learned a new technique that was about campus Interventions. From this contemporary performance, she has also produced a campus Intervention where it described 'temporary'. For further development, she has performed a contemporary performance from this. A video is presented below the images.

The University of East London, Ava Building
During the start of Ruby Khan’s first year at university, she discovered a distinctive method which was evaluating the object. Here are some of her photos and installation shots from the object she evaluated. She remains ambitious and likes to investigate as well as expand her processes. This evaluated object was constructed in the form of Christopher Wool using a fragrance decoration with wire. She has demonstrated the transformation technique by transforming the scented object into a solid structured object.
