About The Artwork
Acrylic and collage on canvas. This painting is from a series inspired by family photographs taken to mark holidays and special events. The people and/or children appear happy in the photo and are posed as required by parents or relatives, yet upon the viewers' closer inspection, disruptions in the main narrative and the space can be detected. A single bird sits on the table as a portent of death (the death of the father photographer) as well as an opportunity for transcendence. the fact the the children seems oblivious underscores their acceptance of the "happy family" face that most families present to outside world despite human problems, dysfunction, and skeletons of the past. These works explore family dynamics associated with unexpected loss of a family member; shattering of the life of a child. This painting has been exhibited widely, most notably in London and Santa Ana, CA.

My work is an investigation of the human psyche, as relates to dreams, memory, and reverie. I am interested also in family systems--their various forms and definitions--using techniques that include layering, fragmentation and appropriation to undermine familiar narratives relating to socially accepted views of the family and its functions. I hope to raise questions on the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder and other types of psychological scarring that may result from war, forced relocation, imprisonment and violent conflict; specifically, how these events may mutate or infect subsequent generations, shaping the psychological underpinnings of the family system, that serve as the motivating factors, conscious or unconscious, of the human psyche. https://www.stephanie-j-ryan-artist.com/ https://www.facebook.com/stephaniejryan.artist, http://www.artslant.com/global/artists/show/233188-stephanie-j-ryan,
