Catalogue Note

"Everything I do holds a kind of gesture in it. For me, it’s this kind of dramatic gesture. A truncated gesture. It’s like an expression that was at one point very fervent and then it just gets kind of stopped" (Sterling Ruby in conversation with Hans-Maarten, Utopia Parkway, 10 December 2009, online).
