Cathryn Ryan’s art celebrates New Zealand’s native trees and birds, exploring themes of strength, resilience, and identity. Her work often features eggs, symbolizing birth, potential, and fragility. Floating freely, they become time capsules, preserving our connection to nature. Other vessels—like tin cups, seashells, and clumps of earth—tell stories of where we come from. Occasionally, these objects take on quirky, unexpected forms, adding a playful twist to the narrative. Through these symbols, Cathryn invites viewers to reflect on who we are, fostering a deeper connection to both the land and our shared history, with moments of both contemplation and lightheartedness.
