Wound — Hanah Yendler

Fiber (embroidery and beads), 12" x 12" x 1", 2021

Presented at The deYoung Open 2023 (ID #310)

Listed for $300 *

Artist statement:

This visceral embroidery piece was born out of intense emotional rawness that I experienced in the fall of 2021, as well as a curiosity in pushing the boundaries of the format of embroidery to somewhat emulate sculptural art. Embroidery and sewing has normally been used to decorate or to mend, but this piece intentionally "rips" the fabric apart.

Hanah Yendler is a multimedia painter, poet, and fiber artist based in California. You can view more of Yendler's artwork on Instagram @/hanahyendler. .

DALI BLUE

One of the characteristics of oil paint is that it grows transparent as it ages. When the paint is applied in thin glazes, underwork eventually begins to show through. As in Salvador Dali’s ���Portrait of Dorothy Spreckels Munn” (1942) in the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco.

truth or dare ask game:

🥐🔪🧃🍄🌻🥤🥑🛼(hehe)

yes Im nosey sshhh

🥐 this is an oldie for anyone who was a member of ONTD on livejournal but “i know bitch, i was watching” still makes me laugh and i still quote it to this day

🔪 weirdest topic researched for writing…probably for my undergrad thesis when i was originally planning to include baroque art, i did a deep dive into frederik ruysch’s tableaus of baby skeletons. somewhat related, his daughter rachel was one of the most popular dutch still life artists of the era yet most people don’t know her name.

🧃honestly idk if there is anything about me i haven’t posted lmao i am the queen of oversharing but um. don’t know if i’ve ever talked about how i was chosen as a freshman to present at the deyoung museum on the topic that three years later would become my thesis. it was typically an event only open to seniors but the head of the art history department was so impressed she made an exception :) also connected to that - my grad school capstone advisor was present and the first time i met with her she told me she remembered me and my presentation 12 years later. so keep researching that weird shit you like it will make an impression on at least one person lol

🍄 hmmm since it’s lesbian visibility week let’s go with cirrus/cumulus. i think they were aware of one another in the pit, even intrigued by one another but neither made a move. not until after they were summoned when one evening cirrus got into a scrap with dewdrop and cumulus jumped in to break it up. when dew accidentally swung on her, cirrus lost her whole shit. took aether and mountain holding her back and even then, they got scratched to shit and bit. cumulus, with her eye swollen, walked over to her and gently stroked her face murmuring reassuring words to her. dewdrop felt so guilty he apologized to not only cumulus but also cirrus. it was the last time they ever (physically) fought and every time dew saw cumulus with that black eye it made him sick to his stomach. and the girls? never slept without one another since.

🌻 someone i appreciate but don’t talk to on a regular basis wow this is a hard one. maybe not a specific person but to everyone who regularly likes or reblogs my fics, even if i don’t follow you trust me i see you 🩵

🥤there are so many people on here who are incredible writers but truly @anamelessfool and @the-lisechen blow me away every time. such beautiful prose that really gets you emotionally and they are both incredible at creating compelling OCs. cannot recommend them more.

🥑 if we lived on the same continent i’d absolutely say @forest-rot but other than them i’d say @bimbotheosis lmao she’s got a bigger car than me that can better hold a body and is close enough that it would be efficiently done

🛼 -> 🙊💦🍜🧎🏻‍♀️🪤

Eceyone got here at 10am. I made these delicious cheesy eggs and cut my finger badly in the process (I’m scared to check the bandage). We played hide and seek, went to the park, played with the cars, then they left for home. K and I went to the deYoung museum to see the Kehinde Wiley exhibit, which was so intense, I took a few pictures that I’ll post, including some of the thoughts of those who’ve been through the exhibit already, the artist invited people to post their thoughts on a big board. There was an Ansel Adams show that was really amazing as well and some different artists who focused on Yosemite that I really liked.

Then we took a long walk through Golden Gate Park, it was so windy. We actually saw a tree fall down right in front of us. Freaked us out. We had Mexican food and came home.  She’ll spend the night and head home tomorrow.

 I am so exhausted. I definitely woke up a little hung over and just all this social stuff is not what I’m used to, but it was so fun.

What made you interested in photography? Do you remember the first picture you took or posted?

Others art is what got me inspired. So the VERY first time I ever tried photography was in 2006 after seeing my dad's photos from when he was in high-school. He had his own darkroom he made growing up and I thought that was so cool, i wanted to try. I took a photo of my bass, changed the hue and made a 4 image collage ala pop art style (I was into Andy Warhol)

Then I didn't really touch it for a few years, but I got back into it in 2009 after going to the DeYoung museum and seeing a lot of really cool art in different mediums and styles and got so inspired.

Here's one of the first photos I took in 2009

Mariupol — Kathleen Truax

Painting (Oil on canvas), 40"x30"x1", 03/27/2022

Presented at The deYoung Open 2023 (ID #29)

Listed for $4000 *

Artist statement:

Out of great emotional upset over the invasion of Mariupol by Russia, I painted an abstraction on March 27, 2022 as a way to distract myself. I didn't consciously set out to paint anything to do with the invasion, but nevertheless must have done so, because my longtime partner took one look at the painting and exclaimed, "It's Mariupol!" I said without a moment of thought, "You're right!" Even the colors are related to the flag of Ukraine.

Kathleen Truax is an oil painter of landscapes, abstractions, portraiture, and figures. You can see a higher-quality version of this image and more of her artwork on her website, kathleentruaxart.com , or follow her on instagram @/krtruax .

Fun fact!! If you’re on food stamps/ebt you can get in to so many museums for free or very little, and you can bring up to three guests! Bc of grad school I’ve had EBT this year and I’ve gone to:

The Monterey Bay Aquarium ($0, 4 adults 1 kid)

SF zoo ($12, 3 adults 1 kid)

Asian Art Museum ($0, 2 adults, but they did charge for the special exhibit)

Oakland Museum of California ($3, 3 adults, included special exhibit AND parking!)

Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History ($0, 2 adults)

I’m hoping to also go to the DeYoung and Cal Academy before I get paid next month.

The program is called Museums for All and you can see what’s available in your area here:

free museum trips are wasted on unappreciative middle schoolers. let me go

Navigating Conversations: From Debate to Understanding

An unexpected conversation with a stranger at Faith Ringgold's American People exhibit at the deYoung Museum.

Are we being asked to think before responding? Or are we being lured into instant debate? I was sitting on a bench typing notes into my phone in the midst of the exhibition “Faith Ringgold: American People” at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. For me, it was a joy, and pure inspiration to view, learn more about, and sit surrounded by 50 years of Ms. Ringgold’s work. The exhibition, spread…

“Greens, Blues” Tree Ring Heart Art Brand Bundle, July Art Drop

I have a friend here in the Bay Area who when we get together gives me her undivided attention and love. Her birthday gift idea for me last weekend was a long leisurely walk in Golden Gate Park and outdoor lunch at the DeYoung Museum. Art EVERYWHERE, even the food, and the green parking garage … I’m not ashamed to admit that her real gift to me are her listening skills ...

My heart-art today reminds me of the Golden Gate Park - the lush greens of the earth and blues of the sky. Every inch of this park is filled with something intentionally designed - from public ping pong tables to new art murals on the street - which T pointed out that it matches my current art posts! Synchronicity, YAY! This park reminds me how amazing it is when humans design beauty with intention .. 

The more I get to know my friend these last 11 years, I notice how nurturing she is with all of her friendships. Like G, actually. She’s not trauma-less (nobody is), but she did have an amazing relationship with her mother, so I’m sure that filled her up in a way that she can now keep the love going …

When I talk about her to G, I call her my “best friend”, but she is a lot of people’s best friend, and that is her superpower. I used to be jealous of this, but this is the wounded part in me. My ego thinks that if I am exclusively loved by someone - if I am someone’s FAVORITE - THEN I will be worthy. (This is the same kind of inner hole that Donald Trump is trying to fill.)

And yet, I do want to find people who cherish me, not because I am useful for them, but for my authenticity. To be 56 and only now learning how to ask for what I need, to create mutually fulfilling relationships, AND to find people who find meaningful, what I find meaningful, is a challenge.

Still, I’m asking. It’s not going “well”, but maybe starting with my siblings was a mistake. All of this makes me realize most of us are functioning with a colossal lack of nurturing. We are trying to heal spaces that are big black holes…

My mother was the oldest of 5, her mother fled the war while pregnant, with 5 young children who were newcomers to Germany, after feeling their home in former East Prussia. They were hungry, malnourished and slept on straw mattresses. An orange at Christmas time was a big deal. So there is no way my mother could have been a mix of Maya Angelou, Audre Lorde, Brene Brown, Jean Bolen, Alice Walker - that’s what BOOKS are for.

My mother gave every part of her (broken) heart to me and my siblings, and so did my father. And do, still… I am so grateful that my parents and I are able to connect on a SOUL level now, which is a little bit of an awkward dance …

My friend knows all this, and she very intentionally wanted to fill my Soul up for my birthday, because I think I’ve been dry and showing signs of cracking … We walked and talked for hours. She reminded me about joy and laughing … We played Ping Pong in the park, and sat in twirly chairs, giggled like we were not over 50 years old. I am hugely grateful for this friendship and our mostly monthly walking days together … I think I just need a few good people to help me stay sane. 

I wanted to add about the twirling chairs in the park. A woman came to sit on one after I got out of one, but she didn’t want to lean fully back. Her fear of the moving chair made me be able to see: not only was I not afraid of this chair, but I had the same kind of trust when I moved here 11 years ago and thought everything would go according to plan. I feel comforted in knowing that I’m not so broken that I don’t have trust or faith ... I know I get that sense of stability from my family … 

This woman said didn’t want to lean backwards unless someone else was holding her. So I said I would. As she fell backwards on the chair, I made sure she could feel my hands on back. Such a cute little positive group experience about trust thanks to public art … 

I said to T, ‘see, how nobody wants to Surrender. Ever. Not even in a chair that is designed to support us.’ 

I love this reminder to show up and Surrender, even if this thing that I’m doing with All-lines-are-beautiful is way bigger than twirling, full body, on a chair …   

I’ve wanted to have large Wall Mural Art adhesive prints for the longest time, and this Tree Ring art will be able to cover entire walls. More information is coming. I’ll be launching that page soon.

All “Greens Blues” Tree Ring Heart Art for the July art drop is available on both society6.com/alllinesarebeautiful and on my annehunsicker.com store. Beginning with Crossbody bags.

Love, 

Anne
