"Armed with the tenet that small, ordinary truths often illuminate large fields, I paint with an eye towards the tension and beauty that can occur when man, technology, and the natural world convene at random points. These images--plain, familiar, observed from common angles, are my visually transposed moments of willed isolation and affection for an inherent sense of belonging. "

Sarah Yuster, February 2000
