Art by Ryan Wilks Hello, I'm Ryan Wilks. By day, I work in Hospital Leadership, and by nights and weekends I lead a fulfilling life as a partner, friend, and artist. Mywork changes mediums often but remains steadfast in the main subject of thought centralizing around, crimes of the church, queer sex, gender identity, and expressing human joy and suffering through irreverent and beautifully rendered human form. Most recently I have been creating fully articulated human and animal figures out of foam, plastic sheets, velvet, and paper. A fun example of this work is the piece I'm offering for the benefit of the Golden Spirit Children's Choirs. This piece is meant to be displayed and posed in an upright, wall hanging shadow box. The back should be quark board and professionally wrapped in velvet and or felt. Using clear push pins, the owner can position this figure in as many ways as they might imagine simply by moving push pins to desired position and letting the figure rest on them. I think this is such a fun way to keep the same piece interesting and new for years.
