Catherine Yass

Portrait Sculpture

Catherine Yass's *Portrait Sculpture* presents an intimate yet conceptually layered exploration of identity and representation, characteristic of the artist's ongoing investigation into the boundaries between stillness and movement. Yass brings her signature sensitivity to the human subject, inviting viewers to consider how portraiture constructs and distorts our understanding of a person. The work engages with the tension between the fixed nature of sculptural form and the fluid, elusive quality of individual selfhood.
