Works from Veronica Ryan’s Collective Moments sculptural series are currently on view at White Columns, New York.
Created by twisting and bunching tie-dyed pillowcases with coloured hair, these objects are rich with associations to the body, to states of rest, as well as the daily rituals and complex cultural signifiers of clothing, grooming and hair styling. As with so many of Ryan’s works, they play with the familiar forms, languages and histories of modernist Western art, whilst at the same time invoking more active, ritualistic objects.
This exhibition has been organised by Camden Art Centre, London, and all of the works have been generously donated by Veronica Ryan to be sold in benefit of their charitable mission. All of the proceeds will go directly toward supporting Camden Art Centre’s internationally renowned exhibition, residency and learning programmes.
