Having had a passion for art-making and fashion from a young age, it only made sense that Ryn would combine these interests to design and fabricate wearable fiber art. Inspired by both historical and contemporary design, their work seamlessly melds different aesthetics to embody the timeless themes of struggling with mental and physical illness. Combining medical aesthetics with playful, colorful, and quirky fiber art, Ryn’s work aims to make difficult conversations about experiencing pain more comforting and approachable. Through the laborious processes of sewing and crocheting, art-making becomes meditative and therapeutic, helping to process and heal from these struggles.
