Sterling Ruby's *Exhm (3697)* is a raw and visceral work that combines collage and urethane on cardboard, reflecting the artist's signature engagement with materials sourced from everyday life and consumer culture. The layering of found imagery and glossy urethane coating creates a tension between the disposable and the preserved, elevating humble cardboard into a complex surface charged with history and texture. The work embodies Ruby's ongoing exploration of violence, accumulation, and transformation within American society.
