This small volume collects 25 evocative, ghostly, graphite and acrylic works on panel by New York artist Yvonne Puffer. In an interview with art historian Katy Siegel, Puffer cites influences like Ida Applebroog, Peggy Preheim, Alice Neel and Louise Bourgeois. Bourgeois is probably the most important for me, since she openly talks about her primal family structure's influence, yet the work doesn't need this information to exert its incredible emotional impact. Bourgeois quite often uses everyday objects in her work that evoke a time and place yet always with a discordant note. There's a mystery, haunting and fragile, that makes you a little uncomfortable, but you're not sure why. That's what I like.
