Printed Work
Due to Covid-19, the specialty printing facilities of Parsons School of Design closed shortly after the start of the spring 2020 semester. After being forced to move online, our hands-on screen printing class shifted our focus to the planning and iterative processes that precede physical printing. Yvonne intends to make her way back to a printing studio one day to revisit her works in progress, whenever it becomes safe to do so.
Wilted Lilies, 2019
Graphite on paper, marker on transparency, photo emulsion on silkscreen, fabric paint on cotton
My Mother and Lemons, 2019
Handwriting on paper, digital renderings
Created by applying inspiration drawn from three artists, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Corita Kent.
“My mother has always been tough on us
It’s why I am the way I am today & I’m forever grateful.
She teaches me to fight for myself & to fight hard, to be strong and always keep going.
Food is her love language and I think lemons have to be one of her favorite fruits
My mother is an immigrant from Taipei and I know she loves other more exotic fruits like passion fruit and mangos,
but I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t homemade honey lemon concentrate in the fridge.
So much of her love goes into making that concentrate
I think lemons have to be one of my mother’s favorite fruits, so they’re one of my favorite fruits too.”
Composition VIII, 2016
Acrylic on construction board
Created for a studio final project in which we were tasked with replicating a masterpiece by one of our favorite artists
