The print sculptures in Yael Brotman’s current body of work look at publicly accessible structures such as bridges, boardwalks, and piers. The artist uses these mediating loci to examine the parameters of our social contract with nature. She says, ‘the water under the bridge or at the end of the boardwalk may be menacing at times. These structures act as conduits over challenging terrain while also protecting fragile shorelines from damaging footfalls.’
Brotman is a print-based artist also engaged in drawing and sculpture. her print sculptures have been included in exhibitions at Lehman College Gallery, New York, Edinburgh Printmakers, International Print Centre New York, and in a solo at Harcourt House, Edmonton. She sits on the board of CARFAC and teaches at the University of Toronto Scarborough.
