CARRIE YAMAOKA — RECTO / VERSO

CARRIE YAMAOKA—RECTO/VERSO, at Henry Art Gallery, “explores the recurring themes of visibility, perception, and subjectivity across Yamaoka’s work from the early 1990s through today. It brings together her text-based explorations and chemically altered photographs centered on erasure and double meanings with her process-oriented works in reflective polyester film and resin…

“Conceived with the artist, the layout of the exhibition draws connections across Yamaoka’s cumulative body of work and underscores the iterative and synchronous nature of her practice over the last thirty years.”*
