I AM HERe Installation

Women in a Rural County

Women are an essential part of any community, yet their sense of belonging is often tied into gender roles, not always satisfying their sense of belonging. Mother, sister, partner, we all have women in our lives. I AM HERe is intended to mirror the voices of how men and women view women’s unique sense of belonging against the backdrop of our rural community. Lead artist Ruth Chase has sought to examine her own sense of belonging over the course of a year by asking questions through social media and taking her personal journey alongside the community. Now, the public is invited to share their own stories about themselves or the women in their lives by participating in the public art installation.

Sketch Artist for Dead Files

In 2015 Ruth Chase created sketches for No Vacancy”,  filmed at The Holbrooke Hotel in Grass Valley, CA. for a TV reality program called The Dead Files on The Travel Channel.

MEETING AMY ALLEN
Amy was a freaking trip, in all the best ways. An incredibly interesting, strange, distant, and focused person—she was the real deal. Sitting with her felt like being with someone who was hallucinating. My guess is that she was reading spirits and energy the whole time. As we sat in a hotel room to film the scene, sitting across the table from each other, it felt like she was reading me, or the room around me. Her eyes darted back and forth, over and around me, but never looked directly at me, even when I spoke to her. I loved every minute of it. After our scene together, I sat down to draw what she had described, both on camera and off, texting her photos of the progress to ensure the image matched what she saw. The hardest part of drawing a quality piece was dealing with all the distractions that pulled me away from being in my own space of channeling. Though, I wouldn’t have wanted to mix in with the energy there, so I guess it worked out for the best.

NO VACANCY

Retired NYPD homicide detective Steve DiSchiavi and physical medium Amy Allan investigate paranormal activity at a small-town hotel in Grass Valley, California. Their separate investigations take harrowing turns as Steve uncovers the hotel’s history of destructive fires and scandalous violence, while Amy comes face-to-face with the deranged dead during her overwhelming walk.
