'Informed by the influence of climate, Yates' cyclical body of work maps a quest for preservation while contemplating the consequence of change'
The work that I make is in direct response to climate, with sensitivity as to how weather shapes environment, communities and culture. I'm concerned with the impact a changing climate has on isolated communities-and with how isolated communities impact climate and the ecosystem. Connected are the seasonal dialogues= intimate encounters with land and sea to mark places and changes in time. Hence the work is very much about the wanders- engaging via site-responsive drawing, painting, ephemeral landworks, community collaborations and interventions. http://www.janyates.com/statement.html
