 My name is Yeon Ji Yoo. I'm an artist in Red Hook, Brooklyn. I do mixed media sculptures, installations and drawings. My work is about decomposition and how there's a transference of nourishment and materials from one life to another life and what kind of happens between those two stages. My sculptures are, I've built them as groups or a series so that the viewer when they see it, it's not just an object but that it is an environment. I want the viewer to be a part of the artwork also, that experience and that connection. So this is called If I Could Fix You. It's about the action of trying to mend something that keeps breaking. I did use branches in there so that it does break and I do have to constantly go back and fix it, which is part of the work. So in a sense it's almost like it's never finished really and how I care for it is part of its life. I grew up in Korea on a farm. There were rice paddies, there were frogs and the outhouse and everything. I think those were all things that really stuck to my memory. Also just the landscape there, at night it's completely pitch black and all those silhouettes, the sounds. I think that's all become part of my work and how I view my sculptures as landscapes or many landscapes.
