- Meet
Adam Ryder
We chat with the Brooklyn-based artist about his lens-based practice and his latest series, "Orbis Tertius".
I spend a lot of time churning through an idea, and the idea of course evolves as I’m working on it, but I try to pre-set the parameters. Then, making all the things feels like I’m in a factory: I’m churning out all the things I’m supposed to.
