If you’ve followed my blog about making these

please come see them live.

 

Thank you to all the valued professionals

who help make my shows happen every year.

Kristine Schomaker (shoeboxpr@gmail.com),

my art manager — advisor – PR rep,

consulted on these works in studio visits all year.

As a curator, Kristine included me in other shows.

“In the Current” was at Blue Roof in June.

This porno peach was created for her

“Let Me Eat Cake” pop-up at POST in July.

Art critic Shana Nys Dambrot

saw the earliest 3 of this series in a preview

at MuseuMM in February.

She reminded me that the beauty of palm fronds 

need significant augmentation

to develop from found objects to art.

So I went back and did “Bionic Angel”

with detailed sculpture and copper wire.

It took months before I revisited the frond shape

in “Stay With Me,”

the most complex construction in the show.

Once the work is done, it has to go on a wall…

somehow…

Every year Monica Nouwens and Melanie Aron

photograph my new series, no matter how reflective

My brilliant daughter Raya Yarbrough

composed a song cycle for this show

and will perform with a string quintet

If you choose one event, come to this!

Finally I’m grateful for Rakeem Cunningham
