Rachel Yoder, "By This Means," 2022
Drawing on a career in carpentry, By This Means resituates the building trades within the constructs of gender, identity, and art history. Rachel Yoder takes the tools and her daily experience of construction to make paintings and prints, incorporating individual components, accumulation, structure, repetition, creation of space, addition, and layering into her work. Common symbols of construction – hammers and ladders – are repurposed as a means of escape and self-examination. Meaning is held in the forms and the structures, telling stories, and revealing additional information.
