Rebecca Ryan

Discipline:

Multidisciplinary Artist

Location:

South East London

ABOUT:

In her practice, Rebecca uses the motif of the home to grapple with elements of her identity. Contextualised on a working-class background, Rebecca explores the housing instability she experienced growing up and its impact on her formation of memories, perspective on community and family, and its ties to her experience of grief. Rebecca’s art at its core is deeply personal, however by focussing around universally felt themes (stability, community, and loss) she seeks to connect with those who are able to empathise in some capacity.

Rebecca is trained in sculpture and enjoys producing larger works that are designed with human interaction in mind. These works mostly incorporate elements of metal, textiles, and plant-life. Rebecca’s practice, however, also branches into the realms of digital artistry, painting, and writing.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
