Artist Statement: 

Rice and Beans is a collaboration between Geoff Campen and Diana Ruiz. We are artists and architectural designers interested in the interaction between constructed reality, and the natural world. Geoff Campen explores these themes through architectural and construction imagery. He finds and displays inherent order and chaos in both construction and nature. He then contrasts these images with natural materials and colors. Diana Ruiz creates organic forms and surreal botanical creations with found objects, wood and wool in many variations. She is inspired by creatures (real and imagined), and collects a little of everything. Diana Ruiz and Geoff Campen are married and live, work and make art in San Francisco.
