Fall 2013, Volume 15

From the Art Editor

I have seen Sandra Yagi's technique and depth of imagination increase through years of following her work. She brings a sense of humor to a love of old master design and technique. Her use of skeletal forms and écorché figures (literally "flayed," but classically used to study and reveal the musculature of the animal, the magic in the machine,) is an earnest and enduring exploration. The most recent work brings together technique, design, and subject matter to create an emotional complexity that keeps me checking back on them—proof that the eye–catching subject matter is just the starting point.
