SCULPTURE ADDENDUM, an accompanying booklet, elaborates on the conception of the series Perfect Flat Constructions. It was published in tandem with the solo show, New Work, at Cathouse Proper, May 6-June 11, 2023.
“The sculptures detailed in this book are made as proto-artworks; the would-be mothers to litters of other artworks. They are means to the ends you see in the show here at Cathouse Proper. The limited space and the delicate relationship between the two bodies of work led us to decide not to show these works in the exhibition, but they will be shown in the future when the conditions are right.” —Ethan Ryman, introductory text
