ARTIST STATEMENT

Yule-Tsingas’s expansive practice evolves across multiple media, including painting, collage, sculpture and installation, united by a consistent playful visual language, with redemptive possibilities. The work refers to far reaching vernaculars of psychology, popular science, momentous displacements, diy, psycho geography ( geographic location embedded in the body), migration , anthropology, the milieu, exploring the layers of loss, commingling with joy and desire for a shared life.

The work is an ongoing process, linking playful but experimental exhibitions under the structure of the subtitle, The Unfinished Guard Series.

The Unfinished Guard Series is an ongoing haptic project, a universe of constellations of worldly encounters with the other through paint, paper and found objects. Remaking as a performative act is a self perpetuating sensorial aesthetic of intuitive and uncanny pairings . The work is comprised of three strands, the complete, the unfinished/finished and the in-flux. An evolving body of work as a body in relation to other bodies and places.

The complete are paintings a primal exploration , privately performative as an excavation, an archeology, while simultaneously recreating through the catalyst of memory + repetition = always something different, possibly a becoming, emerging from the miasma.

The unfinished/ finished are collage that bring fragments together, a fragile union of permanence. Torn, cut and broken they become whole in their fragile vulnerable state.

The in-flux or metamorphosis of (objects/ things) excluded from commodity circulation, bring together in a flash, a temporary solution, a chance, a possible new life using the gestures of survival.
