New Work Unknown Series 2012

Working on a series of work where i share stories from other that have been through events in their life's that altered who they are or who they want to be, i am sharing the voice that they silenced.

Buried Words 

Dear diary series part 1

Finished part one of the series started part two as well as another series

Dear diary series

​There is something about process that connects the spectator with the artist, more than just saying, “I do a sketch, then I paint and I am done”; it is never so simple. Understanding where the artist begins and then seeing where it ends is all a part of the story. My focus initiates with gathering my thoughts collectively and seeking out concepts. The ideas for my works are derived from life experiences and it is never just one topic. The detail of each story has roots deeper than they appear. 2yard by 3yards large mixed media

At this point after doing more research i have decided to seprate this piece form the collage and allow the growth that has taken place while working on this piece to become a new body of work. After doing more reacerach instead of sticking to one subject as before this is now a entirely new direction that my work is taking. (new imagesto come soon)

Artist Statement

Interlacing Words and Form
Liric Yarborough
Artist Statement

My paintings juxtapose bright colors and dynamic writing to form a rhythmic, visual poem that tells the story of my life.  I combine poetry and mixed media to create an imagined visual structure that is both typographical and abstract in element.  My structures are treated like large diary pages where each piece is a personal message to help reveal who I am.

I began as a painter but as I learned about the variety of materials I could incorporate within my work, I began to diversify, and now use fabric, acrylic paint, gel mediums, thread, rice paper and cloth.  I also increased my mark making to include words and text.  Creating images that start an open dialogue with the viewers is vital. The intent is to share in conversation and creates a vocabulary that combines the enjoyment of words, colors and materials to compose a single message.  All this variety has helped imbue my work with a natural quality.

True to ones self.

Nothing in this world is simple but as humans we all strive for something better in our worlds. When I set my heart on becoming an artist i wanted to make sure that i was creating all the time, even if it was something small and simple i wanted to create.

Art to me is about finding the inner voice within each person and learning how to open or access that inner voice. We are not all the same that's why no two artist are alike in every way, but being an artist links us to other artist in a way like no other... we are linked through are inner beings all looking for some definition to our selves.

This is why i am an artist first because i believe that one should have a way to express that inner voice without restrictions.
