Drip, Swing, Squish Tour; Part Three

During our last stop on the tour, we looked around the gallery to see what all the sculptures have in common.


All of these artworks are made of fabric and are stuffed with fiberfill, much like a pillow. 

Sterling Ruby has made many textile sculptures. He learned to sew when his mother gave him a sewing machine at the age of 13, and he began making clothes for himself. He often makes clothes for himself and his studio assistants from remnants, or leftover scraps, from his soft sculptures.

We had a lot of fun sharing what the different sculptures looked like. What do you think of when you see these artworks? Look below for a little insight from the sculpture titles.
