Intro
The 10th edition of the New Talent Award 2024 by Klimt02 aims to recognize the work of graduate students in our field by supporting their careers in the professional world. Nominated by our school members, one of the selected graduates will win the New Talents Award.

Ruby’s approach, inspired by thinkers like Merlin Sheldrake and Donna Haraway, challenges anthropocentric worldviews and introduces a post-humanistic perspective that highlights the interdependence of all living things. By using fungi both as a material and a conceptual muse, she bridges the gap between art and science, encouraging wearers of her jewellery to reflect on ecological balance and sustainability.
