Deborah Yaffe creates
sensitive and delicate sculptures
from a combination of natural
materials, mixed threads, and other
recycled fibres. Through the mixing
of materials, her sculptures weave
together the human and non-human
worlds, challenging us to reconsider
how those worlds connect. Yaffe has
several works on display in this
exhibition, each of which weaves
materials in her characteristic way.
The tiny bits of natural fibre in
each piece call out attention to the
gorgeous detail in nature, and bring
the viewer into a rich and intimate
relationship with the materials
themselves. The sculptures are
tactile, intriguing and intricate.
They call on us to recognize the network
of relationships that sustain us,
binding us to each other and to the natural world.
