About
Ryan Sarah Murphy’s creative practice is intuitive and process-driven, generated by the found ephemera of her daily experience. Responding to the latent energy within discarded and repurposed objects, she allows for the material to act as the guide, moving through the development of a piece with no set plan or intended outcome. Her approach to “making” is wholly collaborative, wherein her attention rests soundly on the given material, and the material in turn determines the course of action.
The process of collage lies at the foundation of her art making. The impulse to gather, assemble, layer and construct is always present. Found color is an enormous prompt, an irrefutable harbinger of potential forms and possibilities. In the small reliefs made of cardboard and sometimes book covers, she never paints, alters or enhances the natural color of the materials, be it a Nike shoebox or a frozen food carton. Cutting and tearing away any text, logos or product branding, Murphy uses the remaining color fragments as the starting point in constructing new forms.
The emergent themes are all rooted in landscape. There is a seemingly incessant drive to find grounding and placement in a widely untethered space, be it the tactile, physical environment or the nebulous interiors of the self. The handling of her chosen (and inherently impermanent) materials speaks to an illusive architectural instinct that embodies dual paths of creation and destruction.
