Vessels Bloom

The distillation of memories within memories: of kindred, human connections engrained deep within objects of sentimental value.

Inspired by his mother’s own ritual of picking and collecting flowers and foliage from her daily walks, Charlie Ryan paints a celebration of each day’s harvest.

A collection of both impressionist and abstract works portraying an interpretation of selected flowers, and “vessels” from Charlie’s own home and a neighbourhood in Red Hill.

“We ourselves are all vessels of memory, as can be the things we keep and grow. This collection is the distillation of memories within memories. Of kindred, human connections engrained deep within objects of sentimental value.” – CR
