The Story Behind The Art
Yield
This original mixed-media piece, Yield, belongs to the Unraveled collection. It explores the physical practice of surrendering to the unknown and giving up a rigid need for absolute control. The artwork features a solid, deep green canvas bisected by a diagonally twisted, pale sculpted fabric. This knotted material represents the tension and exhaustion of hiding behind protective perfectionism.
Emerging from beneath the weight of this sculpted fabric are unforced, free-flowing splashes of pastel pink and mint green acrylic paint. By abandoning traditional brushes for raw, tactile materials, this piece physically constructs the profound relief of laying a heavy burden down. Yield captures the exact, invigorating moment of watching an outcome unfold without interference, serving as a reminder of the vibrant joy found when we finally let go.
