Art of Being: Quantum Entanglement
Relating movement to mark - making to cyanotype.
How do we access deep, embodied knowledge of the “self?” For the past month, I’ve been in workshop with other artists exploring “quantum entanglement” through movement.
I’ve then taken my learnings back to the studio, applying a more intentioned and aware flow of movement in my mark making and cyanotype printing.
Join us as a “conscious observer,” Saturday, February 14, at 2pm for a viewing, brief reflection, and reception.

Debuting Relief Prints
Staple and Stitch print and publishers fair offered a vast array of view points on print. Ryn was thrilled to be a part of the conversation, tabling with Campfire Printing Press.
Staple and Stitch saw the first public release of Ryn’s relief work, “Hesitations” and “Will you take what is not yet formed, will you hold this need with me?”

Confluence
January - March 2022
Heaven Gallery, Chicago, IL
In Confluence, the artists seek transformation through their work, engaging with water as a space of intimacy and transcendence. Through labor- intensive, meditative processes, including dyeing, staining, stitching, rinsing, and weaving, the artists bring their metaphysical explorations into reality for the viewer to experience, creating space for new understandings to emerge and finding wholeness from many parts. Many of these processes involve water as a means to transform or create the object.
Confluence is grounded in the artists’ exploration of their vulnerabilities and offers a contribution to the conversation on process and materiality.
Work by Abena Motaboli, Lucia Calderon, Olive Stefanski, and Ryn Osbourne
