Ruth Herbert was an actress whom Rossetti spotted one night at the theatre and added to his collection of ‘stunners.’ She married Edward Crabbe in 1855 but was living apart from him when she met Rossetti.

Mrs Gaskell wrote that she had had a good talk with Rossetti at various evening parties and studio visits ‘always excepting the times when ladies with beautiful hair came in... he was away in a moment struggling for an introduction to the owner of said head of hair.’ - Source of text information ‘Pre-Raphaelite Portraits’ by Andrea Rose.

Sound and Music Perception with Ruth Herbert IKLECTIK, Sat 8 July, 12-1PM We are proud to present a talk with Ruth Herbert on sound and music perception. Part of the SONIC Waterloo sound art festival. | Free entry, Facebook event link.  | RSVP to [email protected] | Image: David Morino The sounds and music we choose (and don't choose) to listen to mediate our perception of the world around us - visually, emotionally and physically. Individuals consciously and consciously use music as a means of self-regulation in everyday life. But are certain ways of using music more 'healthy' than others? Ruth Herbert explores positive and negative uses and experiences of music in everyday scenarios, focusing particularly on sounds and music as a means of detachment, distancing and reframing the subjective feel of unfolding experience. Ruth Herbert // http://bit.ly/2qQa40A Ruth Herbert is a music psychologist, performer and Lecturer at the University of Kent. Her work focuses on the subjective experience of music in everyday life, music, health and wellbeing, music and consciousness (including ASC and Trance) and the evolutionary origins of music. Ruth has performed with various ensembles, notably recording soundtracks for silent films commissioned by the British Film Institute (BFI) with the piano trio Triptych. Current projects include a co-edited volume Music and Consciousness II (OUP), an album of contemporary commissions with the ensemble TableMusic and a study of the benefits of singing for people with neurological disorders. Supported by the Arts Council England. Curated by IKLECTIK & Unpredictable Series.
