Born in Sāo Paulo, Brazil and raised in New York, Nadia Yaron began her artistic career as a furniture maker. Working with salvaged wood and alabaster or marble, her creative practice expanded to making objects and sculpture, finding a visual language that is evocative of the ephemerality of nature and our relationship with it. Working instinctually, Yaron uses chainsaw, grinders, and hard carving tools, to achieve the desired textures and finishes, always mindful to defer or accentuate the stone and wood’s natural forms and patterns. Her sculptures can be life-sized, the stacks of different species of wood and types of stone can take on anthropomorphic aspects with a single piercing in the top stone. Other sculptures are capped with cloud shapes, bringing to mind layers in a landscape. Yaron lives and works in the Hudson Valley.
