Working predominately with textiles and simple cotton thread, guest artist Ann Ryan creates collages that interpret and present both the fashion world and popular culture with an affectionate irony.
Created from the artist’s own extensive collection of fabric remnants, Ryan’s images explore notions of memory, both personal and cultural, and incorporate visual elements from a diverse range of global style movements including 1960s fashion templates, traditional Japanese hand stitching techniques and even the ubiquitous Australian tourist tea towel. Wonderfully feminine and whimsical the resulting juxtapositions of pattern, form and colour playfully celebrate the aesthetics of both the humble and everyday as well as the luxurious outputs of high fashion.
