Polly Yates: Trialogues
@ The Plaines Project
1822 S Desplaines St, Chicago, IL 60616
Opening Friday, October 5th, from 7PM - 10PM
On view through Friday, October 19th
In partnership with Spudnik Press, The Plaines Project presents a solo show by Polly Yates.
Yates is a recent transplant to Chicago, coming from London, where she recently received her Fine Art MA at Central Saint Martins. Polly Yates was the spring Artist in Residence at Spudnik Press.
Tialogues explores themes of desire, abundance and fecundity. In the complexity of the processes inherent to her practice of fragmentation and collage, Yates references the Baroque, excessive ornamentation and the folding in of the outside.
Yates says, “I work in the exact opposite way to most print makers; instead of taking one image and making multiples, I take multiples and create one image. For the Spudnik Press residency, I have been working with processes of doing and redoing, doing and undoing – of showing and hiding. Taking photographed or found images I fragment, distort and weave them into one another to the point of abstraction. By limiting myself to certain techniques, colours and imagery, I am trying to gain as much difference with repetition as I can.”
