Yorke Graham, "Pioneer Steer," 2019
mixed media, 17" x 33" x 7"
OPENING RECEPTION: Friday evening, March 8, 6-9 PM - Artist in attendance
Yorke Graham seeks out vintage and scrapyard finds, trash and treasures, as a way to revisit the past and reimagine it for the present. Exploring both invention and recollection, each piece of art comes to life in amusing and unexpected ways.
“I love how the materials I find, have their own history and backstory, and how with some revisions, I work them into a new piece, to give birth to a new story. Although the process of creating an organic subject from inorganic, somewhat harsh components, can be challenging, it is very rewarding.”
Yorke’s passion to explore the new possibilities of the antiquated materials he uses, ignites his ability to mold, weld and weave each creation with a new identity.
