This is the first episode of "Studies in Quarantine:" A video series using only the remote tools at our disposal that looks at how artists across disciplines are finding inspiration and staying creative during this period of isolation.
This episode features Brooklyn-based artist and sculptor Ruby Sky Stiler. Her monochromatic sculptures and reliefs draw upon a wide range of cultural references, evoking the forms of classical antiquities and the fractured aesthetic of Cubist painting and collage. Rather than using marble, stone, or ceramic, Stiler works with foam core, acrylic resin, plaster, and discarded elements from her studio, incorporating both the monumental and the cast-off and exploring questions of authenticity, authority, value, and taste.
