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.

The deYoung Open is a triannual exhibition featuring artwork by California-Bay Area creators. The most recent exhibit was on display at The deYoung Museum in San Francisco from 09/30/2023 to 01/07/2024. To learn more and view a digital gallery of all 883 pieces that were featured, visit deyoungopen.artcall.org . And if you're an artist from Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, or Sonoma County, you should consider making a submission for 2026! Applications will probably go live in early June 2026, so you have some time to plan :)
