Description
Published to accompany the exhibition 'Veronica Ryan: Multiple Conversations' at Whitechapel Gallery, this monograph charts the development of Veronica Ryan's practice over five decades. It features newly discovered works, original writing and new interpretations by leading scholars, as well as a conversation with Frances Morris and the late artist Phyllida Barlow.
Veronica Ryan's sculptures balance intimacy with monumentality, moving between small votive-like objects, extruded hanging forms shaped by gravity, and large bronzes derived from casts of fruit and flower buds. Her use of techniques such as winding, gathering, binding, concealing and creasing give her sculptures a sense of latent energy, resulting in forms whose presence exceeds their physical dimensions.
