"A.E. Ryan's reliquaries
and architectural tableaux...stand out for their beauty and wry sense
of humor. Ryan creates
elaborate stage sets within ornate frames, evoking a lot of depth out of a little space....She conflates the lullaby
majesty of...landscape, architecture, and art history with the ordinary meanderings of everyday life in a way
that's bound to spark a chuckle....The magnificent scene, then, is a stage for comic, petty foibles. For all
the beauty that surrounds us, we still put blinders on and bicker over underwear. Lucky for us.
Ryan loves the beauty and laughs at the foibles." - Cate McQuaid, The Boston Globe
