Newfoundland artist Margaret Ryall collects things or, as she would say, objects find her. They are pieces of old houses and sheds, discarded fishing gear, bits and pieces of peoples homes, their work, their lives, fragments that time has left behind, remnants of a style of life quicky disappearing. From these bits and pieces, she makes new constructions relating things that were never related in the past, raising the commonest of objects to a new level of honor and respect, and she does it with a Modernist's balance of line and color and proportion overlaying a historian's point of view.

Produktbeschreibung
Newfoundland artist Margaret Ryall collects things or, as she would say, objects find her. They are pieces of old houses and sheds, discarded fishing gear, bits and pieces of peoples homes, their work, their lives, fragments that time has left behind, remnants of a style of life quicky disappearing. From these bits and pieces, she makes new constructions relating things that were never related in the past, raising the commonest of objects to a new level of honor and respect, and she does it with a Modernist's balance of line and color and proportion overlaying a historian's point of view. Time Fragments presents twenty nine images of Margaret's constructions with her comments about each of them. This is the second book in a series celebrating little-sung Newfouldland artists.

Autorenporträt
Margaret Ryall is a full-time artist who divides her time between her studio in St. John's, and her fully equipped workshop overlooking the harbour in Duntara, Newfoundland. She grew up in Placentia, where her parents encouraged her artistic endeavours from a young age. As an avid reader, books introduced her to cities, museums, and famous buildings around the world, and exposed her to a variety of art forms. Her later travels allowed her to observe many of these things first hand. After a fulfilling career as a teacher, Margaret shifted her focus to visual art and interior design. Her earliest paintings were garden themed; later work paired images of floral wallpaper with found objects using painting, collage, and mixed media. Her most recent assemblages, using discarded objects and ordinary materials, encourage viewers to look more deeply into forgotten fragments of the past. Her lifelong appreciation for architecture influences her abstract designs. Margaret has participated in over 70 group and solo exhibitions of her work, which is in both public and private collections. She is represented by The Leyton Gallery in St. John's, Newfoundland.
