Solo exhibition by Ryan Maves | An expectation of intuited divinity; or A prayer to keep the old gods dead

Ryan is an artist and designer who has lived in Phoenix since 2004. This will be his first solo exhibition. Closing reception will be on April 30th from 6-9pm, however the gallery space is open during performances at The Trunk Space. "At the times when I am alone, in my mind, at home, in the studio, I think about the stories we tell ourselves and those we never had a choice in learning. While conceiving these works, I thought about how you could tell a story through the context of materiality rather than an image. Objects which may seem familiar but never tell the same story twice. Narrative without the burden of meaning. My work is not a vessel to hold my intention but rather something more porous like a mountain hollowed by mines. All I’ve done is made space in the betweens for you to find meaning."
