YMT

YMT is a Sydney based Contemporary visual artist, who works in a variety of mediums ranging from drawing, glass, print media, sculpture, textiles, photography, and mural work. She has exhibited extensively since 2008 in a number of Australian and international exhibitions, and has featured in various magazine and book publications. Her work is held in private collections within Australia, Singapore, United States and Europe. Her style reflects an abstracted perception of how we, as humans, are built using the smallest of cells, molecules and particles to construct a large, multi-functioning organism (the body) and reinterpreted by her using pen to paper. There is a balance between design, pattern making and her obsessive detailing with the structures, and formation of human anatomy, its composition, construction and her deconstruction of it throughout her work. Her drawings echo personal experiences and emotions, with symbols, patterns and themes that are appropriated from the cross-cultural abundance that influences and surrounds her. YMT’s drawings are visual statements on the human condition, exploring our ephemerality, our genetic faults, notioning sexuality, and uncovering the beauty in the grotesque and morbid. Her work is an expression of the unconscious, a catharsis for things only aptly represented visually. Amongst the themes embedded in her works, is the constant exploration and dissecting of self.
