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.
Jan Yates strongly connects with remote and wild places. An elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists, Yates has received numerous grants and awards with recognition from the Ontario Arts Council and works are collected throughout North America, the United Kingdom and Australia. OAC international residency grants have supported Yates’ work in Ireland and the Shetland Islands.

'The work that I make, either in my homeland or while on international residencies, is in direct response to climate, with sensitivity as to how weather shapes environment, communities and culture and how communities shape climate and the ecosystem.
|
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 making intimate and transitory offerings from things revealed on the daily walks.'
