Kate Ruck

Kate Ruck, based between Helsinki, Finland and Las Vegas, New Mexico, works with sculpture and installation. Drawing from mass cultural experiences, collective memory, and natural phenomena, her practice explores animistic perspectives through digital-to-physical translations. Without seeking deﬁnitive answers, her works act as material witnesses, reviving an innate openness toward the world. By establishing a “spirit line” for information, she aims to allow energy, or essence, to ﬂow and reconﬁgure — reconnecting us to primal forms of perception. Ruck has exhibited internationally throughout Europe and the US and is a former artist-in-residence at Rule Gallery in Marfa, Texas.
