Myra Ryan

Materiality is at the heart of Myra`s practice. Familiar materials used in unexpected ways bring additional layers of meaning, allowing multiple interpretations. Materials are deliberately chosen that reference and exploit connotations embedded in our collective consciousness.



The interrogation of materials is explored using gestural, instinctive, repetitive actions with work moving between 3D and 2D, one informing and influencing the other. Drawings may be layered, manipulated and taken into space to create 3 dimensional structures.

Recently some of Myra`s work has taken a different path. Inspired & beguiled by the amazing Tout Quarry on Portland bill & working with the Portland Stone & Quarry trust over the past 4 years she has found her own unique & fluid way of drawing & carving into the beautiful stone. Taking delight in exposing surfaces never before seen by a human eye & over 130,000,000 years old.
