About the Work
Five seasonal parts: Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer (returns).
The film BRINDABELLAS: edge of light (2016) was the final step in a journey that started in 2013 when Silver Dory Productions decided to produce a feature-length film entirely with light from the near-infrared spectrum – slightly beyond what the human eye can see. This ambitious project has been described as the “World’s First Near-Infrared Feature”. Ryan also produced a folio of unique photographic prints as part of the process.
