Darlyn Susan Yee is a Los Angeles-based artist whose practice weaves together traditional and unexpected materials into complex designs that engage a dialogue between art, design and craft. Her meticulous, labor-intensive processes result in fiber-based sculptures and site-specific installations. She engages a dialogue that crosses cultural understandings of identity, gender and place. Complex but with a sense of whimsy, Darlyn's explorations of presence and containment encompass large
installations to small handheld vessels.
Darlyn’s artwork has been shown internationally in museums and galleries, and has garnered numerous awards. She was included in 100 Artists of the West Coast II by Schiffer Books, the publisher of her book Macramé Today: Contemporary Knotting Projects. Her work is featured in numerous private and public collections.
Join Darlyn as she unveils the newest fiber-based artwork in her series “Wearing It On Our Sleeves”. She’ll discuss her motivations and techniques used to create the outsized sweaters currently on display in the Social Justice Center at El Camino College.
