JAN YATES SCA, visual artist field & studio work
|
|
'Informed by the influence of weather, Yates' cyclical body of work maps a quest for preservation while contemplating the consequence of change.'
|
|
The work that I make, either in my Niagara homeland or while on international residencies, is in direct response to climate, with sensitivity as to how weather shapes environment, communities and culture. A connecting dialogue is about intimate encounters with land and sea to mark places in time. I work outdoors as much as possible, either with paint ‘en plein air’ or by arranging temporary offerings from things that find me on the daily walks.
