Art Event Commentary
Celebration of Reusables: Journal February 18, 2020
Arthur Whitman reporting "Celebrate ReUse 2” is a partnership between the Tompkins County Public Library and the Ithaca ReUse
"Yatsko intricately alters antique books, incorporating additional collaged images and text as well as natural materials such as sticks and lichen. Pieces here such as “Sailboat” and “Drummer” here recall some of Joseph Cornell’s famous boxes, with their fairytale delicacy and private obsession. Her craftsmanship is impeccable, her imaginative vision clearly realized. Still, her sensibility will be fully embraced only by some."
