Corrine Yonce "Flowers for Penny"
acrylic on canvas, mop strings,& mirrorized plexi 100” x 60” 2020. $850
Artist statement
The concept of Home haunts my art practice, my community projects, my employment. Most of my childhood objects scatter in basements where my family landed and then eventually vacated, spaces condemned, foreclosed on, or never our own. Painting is an impulse to re-materialize my personal histories lost over time. Figures lounge, lay, and lean on one another in these works. In a tight domestic space the female fore-figure wraps into the first-person “i” perspective. Once a space fraught with violence, disruption and chaos, documenting my experience of my current home space has unearthed surprising threads- comfort within the mundane, intimacy in the escapism of technology, a claustrophobic joy. What is my relationship to my home space? How does that confirm or deny traditions of the feminine domestic? The dreaded answer came only as the body of work reached completion- at the base of it all, I am just a sentimental woman painting about love. Home is my body at rest. Home is my body in love.
