Yvette Cummings: Ecstasis And Absence

Yvette Cummings: Ecstasis And Absence
Cecelia Coker Bell Gallery
Oct 20 - Nov 14
Reception: Nov 14, 12pm

Yvette Cummings’ Ecstasis And Absence is a collection of paintings and furniture-based sculpture pieces that convey the complexity of bodily self-perception as it is formed through lived experiences, emotional and physical biases, violations, and regulations. Cummings’ work acknowledges layers of trauma, transformation, and emotion in a format of images that evoke familiar scenes, uncomfortable encounters, and psychological reckoning. Cummings is a master painter and storyteller who uses the seduction of her skill to expose the hidden wounds and pain that others carry internally.
