Ethan Ryman’s work closely traces correlations between dimensionality and objecthood, subtly straining the viewer’s perceptual field and most basic modes of evaluation. Each of Ethan’s series is realized through a cumulative, cross-media process in which he builds, paints, and photographs sculptural models, using the cropped and flattened images to make derivative photo-sculptural works. Drawing from an ongoing photographic study of intricately converging architectural planes within urban landscapes, each stage of the work’s construction is underpinned by its own architectonic considerations. The resulting photo-sculptures offer a fractal-like record of their sculptural originals, detailing a meticulously layered material process and wavering deceptively between degrees of abstraction, representation, and dimensionality.
