Brenna Youngblood builds up densely layered surfaces of archival elements and detritus, establishing a coherence among the formal terms, socio-political structures, and personal experiences from which an abstract painting is constructed. She trained initially as a photographer, but her mixed-media paintings are now categorized within the differently record-keeping traditions of collage and assemblage, which convene found and typically unrelated fragments from the material world in revealing ways. What gets discarded, what gets erased, what can persist and even break through, if granted space and time to do so? In dear DIARY, the delicacy of the multi-hued particles, creases, and fissures, contrasts with the gluey opacity of the vast cream-colored field they disrupt. (Kate Nesin, 2021)
