Conner Yarbrough: FACTORY SETTING

“This show is dedicated to my Nana, who taught me to speak to trees and leave treats for the fairies that lived in them.

These paintings were created over three years when destruction was integral for regrowth and balance had to be discovered amidst chaos. By leaning into automatic and blind contour drawing, I found myself creating/breaking my own rules and forming a visual language that I’m still learning to translate. Whether they started in a sketchbook or as large scale drawings on my bedroom walls, each painting encapsulates a meditative exploration through line and color that guide me back to the moment with breadcrumbs in composition.” – @conner_y
