Christine Ryan
My creative practice explores the connection with land and sea. I am interested in natural processes that reflect the passage of time and how these relate to memories and the transformation of materials.
My connection with the sea is deep rooted. I am drawn to the ceaseless motion of the tide and how the landscape is ever changing in a way that is unpredictable. The sea has the power to make and remake the landscape. All of this underpins my practice and brought me to the larger theme of change over time.
For my MA exhibition, in keeping abreast of new developments within the textiles world, I have been growing my own fabric from microorganisms through a process of fermentation. Through the growing and drying processes it undergoes radical changes over time. Once grown, washed and dried, the resulting fabric can be as fragile as tissue paper or as robust as leather.
