Notes: 'My intention is to use many media as a kind of schizophrenic labor strategy. It seems very easy now to say it, but it has taken me years to convey that this scattered routine belongs within a coherent trajectory. Works may not look the same formally, they might not even be within the same medium, but there is a lineage that links everything that I do together'.
(S. Ruby, quoted in J. Ribas, 'Sterling Ruby: Sincerely Hostile', Flash Art, Vol. XLIII, no. 271, 2010, p. 81).
