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
at the gallery Friday, Sept 21 at 7 PM.
If you choose one event, come to this!
Finally I’m grateful for Rakeem Cunningham
TAG Gallery’s intrepid Director
who manages an astounding 36 solo shows per year
and keeps this immense gallery flourishing.
See you there!
