CA Ryan was one of our three Convention House residency seed commission artists in 2022.
Born in 2020, the artistic identity of CA Ryan is a sacrificial one, registering the decade’s impending threats to life.
This is the vision of CA Ryan: The climate emergency is real and it is happening now. Its outcomes are brutal and difficult to predict. It threatens all life, not only human life. Mass extinctions are already underway, and the crisis manifests itself in various deadly forms: rising seas, floods, cyclones, droughts and fires. Human-made structures look fragile in the face of such forces.
CA Ryan’s practice to date includes drawings, which record destructive processes, and very small erasable sculptures.
