Catalogue Note
“My work is like a constant compression or compendium of cultures. Subconsciously, my mind absorbs various information and ideas — even if it’s beyond my control. I want to create a dialogue between the past and the present.”
Ventura cited in an interview with Lucy Rees, Flash Art 287, 2012
