Yauch invites the viewer to wait for a moment—in settings that don’t communicate a specific time period—focusing on sheer materials and the shape of light as a visual tool to communicate the feeling of loss and examine the presence of absence and fragility of form. Her delicate scenes carry a serenity in their subtle surreality with compositions that operate in the space between presence and absence. The works are both literal and emotional, where narrative is suspended and meaning is deferred. Figures are absent, yet their traces linger: a conjured glass, a silver plate, and a veiled shadow.
