Throughout the 2020 Pandemic, Ryall’s created a self-published print at home zine, as a way to bring different images together and connect through publication. Experimenting with different medium and print, felt foreign as Ryall’s is often exposed to perfect bound photobooks. The amusement gained from this was shared amongst others during lockdown and resulted in a collaborative process.
10 bursaries released by The Tetley PANIC, required individuals works to link to the pandemic and Ryall’s approach to this questioned ‘Who a city is designed for, who belongs to the city and who can make the most of the cities hostile architecture. Engage and experiment. Let the body fall naturally on and around architecture. This project is a work in progress and will be returned to at a later date.
Ryall’s currently works as a programmer, producer, and educator. When she first started at the Wakefield’s ArtHouse, Ryall’s discovered the lack of resources in regard to the Dark Room. As an emerging artist, Ryall’s researched and campaigned for a dark room to be put in place. Wakefield ArtHouse opened 30years ago by and for able and disabled visual artists. Distributing questionnaires to see if a dark room was what the community needed, lead Ryall’s to discover that students have been moving out of Wakefield due to the lack of opportunities. A vision to build a dark room, celebrating the traditional process, innovations, plant-based works and married with contemporary design innovations was put in place. A thoughtful design that has opened doors for a whole new demographic that supports people to learn through each and Emily provides additional support there as a technician.
