Sterling Ruby’s red, white, and blue fabric sculpture is at first glance, toy-like and inviting. Its soft, sewn contours, akin to those of a pillow, stand in strong counterpoint to sculptures made from more traditional and unyielding media like metal, stone, and wood on view elsewhere in the Museum. However, the disarming piece is not without an edge. Ruby has fashioned a showy patriotic pattern into the droopy, enlarged mouths of two vampires, complete with blood-dripping fangs. By combining the patterns of the American flag with the image of gaping, oversized mouths, the artist offers a critique of this country’s overwhelming appetite for consumption and power.
