Yvonne Love
from the series Alluvial Plain
Artist Statement
The unusual materials employed by Yvonne Love, such as modeling paste and resin, fluctuate between drawing space and holding form. These spaces and forms address experience and memory, positive and negative and the ambiguity of boundaries, which contain and protect or divide and limit.
Her current series of works delve into quiet memory and employ a play on repetition that offers both a meditative state as well as eliciting a tone that is simultaneously of the body and the ocean. In both the making and in experiencing, the pieces require slowness.
