Anthony Ryan's Woven Collages

In his most recent body of work, Anthony Ryan has created a series of woven collages using paper strips that are by-products of industrial printing processes. Off-cuts and test patterns from the margins of product packaging and corporate collateral act as raw material and blueprint, dictating the work’s final shape through their own formal logic and systems of arrangement determined by the artist. In these paper pieces redolent of textiles and grid-based abstract painting, Ryan fashions sometimes-dizzying explorations of pattern and arrangement that conjure op-art and color theory experiments. By employing materials that are vestigial artifacts of the technologies of reproduction the work seeks to decode a dialect embedded in the DNA of our visual culture. See more of Anthony's work.

Leah de Nola's Scores

New Old Ballard
55 X 34cm, acrylic on canvas 2007
The wife and I went on a double date with Mr. and Mrs. McNeely. They wanted to show us the Ballard of tomorrow so we borrowed Bob’s time machine. We had Thai food. It was very good. Ballard is pretty much the same but I don’t think the chicken was real.






































Night Vapors

Who can sleep when throbbing wings rattle the windows?





















Dr Kay On Mars

His realtor was a former housemate he trusted but you should really visit a place before you buy.
