Yolande Wyer

Yolande is an artist living in Garsington, Oxfordshire recently completing an MFA at Oxford Brookes University.

 

As a qualified architect she has an interest in internal and external architectural form. Her dissertation was also based on an exploration on the relationship between critical spatial theory and liminality.

​

Her practice explores spatial landscapes, potentially moving to a more focussed Anthropocene awareness. By this she means that she wishes to draw attention to man’s impact on his environment resulting in climate change, causing rising water levels and changing boundaries/territories as we know them. Abandoned structures will continue to increase reflecting the damage.

​

She applies a sustainable methodology to mixed media works utilising recycled waste and food packaging elements frequently. The ‘Refuge’ Tetrapak prints utilize a ‘low tec’ approach reflecting the narrative of abandoned time textured structures and buildings well.

​

During the past year she has learnt to explore a more sculptural 3D approach, with particular reference to assembled installation and sculpture. This is illustrated by ‘the Pilgrimage’ installation based on the Pilgrim’s Causeway, Lindisfarne which became the main project for her MFA.

​

At a high Ievel, she seek to express the instability and transience of our world including the shortness our time in it.
