About the artist

Ryan Wilde Building on her career in millinery, Ryan Wilde (b. 1980, New York, NY USA) expanded her craft to delve into questions surrounding gender performance and the role of clothing in shaping women's identities. Her sculpture accentuates an uncanny extreme woven into the objectification of women and the fetishization of clothing. For Wilde, felt is employed as a tangible reminder of the sartorial strategies women use to navigate dangerous patriarchal systems. Wilde received a BFA from Syracuse and an MFA from Queens College.
