Yolanda V. Fundora: Station Stops on the Time Machine

Old San Juan, 2023, Digital on matte paper, 17 ¼ x 17 ¼ inches.

Artist’s Statement:

We all have “station stops”: times and places where we pause, take a breath, and think about where we’ve been and where we’re off to next. This exhibit is divided into four “stops”. The first, Around the Kitchen Island, documents daily home life: the ingredients for our meals or the flowers that feed our eyes. The second grouping, When Art Forms Collide, reflects the cross-pollination of visual ideas between fabrics, quilt design, and digital painting which dominates Fundora’s work life. Finally, Four Summits and One P’Town, and Traveling Again reflect the artist’s wandering in and beyond her neighborhood, pondering the comfortably familiar and excitingly new.
