BIOGRAPHY
Ryan Sarah Murphy is a New York City-based artist. Using a variety of mediums and technologies, she creates sculptures, videos and drawings. Murphy’s sculptures are generated from the random discovery of discarded pieces of cardboard that she finds throughout the streets of New York City and repurposes. Initially drawn to these materials because of their color, she strips them of any identifiable markings such as logos or lettering, then cuts and layers the torn pieces into raw, elegant constructions that allude to cross sections of buildings or overhead maps. The works act as visual meditations on geographical location, placemaking and spatial awareness, fueled by the pure, energetic power of color combinations and their visceral impact. Some of her videos are generated from her cardboard sculptures, while others begin as footage of random movement, like boiling potatoes or moving escalators. Her drawings start as tracings of stills from her videos, which she then elaborates with color. The combination of her works integrates multiple mediums in unexpected ways, resulting in a fascinating, visceral dialogue about the creative process.
