Ruby Sparks & Co, is artist Carolyn Ferguson, who is based in Goondiwindi, Queensland.

She creates intricate light sculptures by plasma cutting into the iconic Australian forty-four gallon drum.

Her love of rich patterns, textured fabrics, decadent wallpapers, European laces and middle eastern architecture inspires her designs on the steel drums.

Lit from within by fire, solar lights or power they beautify gardens, patios, restaurants and homes across Australia.
