Newfoundland artist Margaret Ryall collects things or, as she would say, objects collect her. They are pieces of old houses and sheds, discarded fishing gear, wallpaper and pieces of rusty hardware, bits and pieces of people's homes, their work, their lives. These fragments that time has left behind, these remnants of a style of life quickly disappearing are her palette. From these bits and pieces, she constructs new objects relating things that were never related and raising the commonest objects to a new level of honor and respect, and she does it with an architect's balance of line and color and proportion and a historian's point of view.

Time Fragments presents twenty-nine images of Margaret's constructions with her comments about each of them. This is the second book in a series celebrating little-sung Newfoundland artists

Margaret Ryall is a full-time artist who splits her time between her quiet studio in St. John's and her fully equipped workshop overlooking the harbour in Duntara, Newfoundland. She was brought up in Placentia, where her parents encouraged her artistic and structural endeavours from a young age. As an avid reader, books introduced her to cities, museums and famous buildings from around the world and exposed her to a variety of art forms. After a long and fulfilling career as a teacher, Margaret began to study interior design, which soon led to her explore painting, collage, multi-media and construction. Her earliest paintings were garden themed; later work paired floral images with old wallpaper and found hardware. Her most recent assemblages, using discarded objects and ordinary materials, encourage her viewers to look more deeply into forgotten fragments of the past. Her lifelong appreciation for architecture influences her abstract designs. Margaret has participated in numerous exhibitions of her work, which is in both public and private collections. She is represented by The Leyton Gallery in St. John's, Newfoundland.
