On the road at the water's edge: an installation by Michael x. Ryan

Jul 18th - Sep 20th, 2009 - Changing Gallery

Ryan's work is influenced by hidden histories, the traces that remain of actions, often missed, and presented to be deciphered. From the puddles left after a shower, the forgotten movements of a day's travel or random stains on a sidewalk to the remains of an impact crater hidden in layers of sediment- each is mapped, diagrammed and documented to reveal its trace.
