The gallery becomes a sanctuary evoking the atmosphere of a cathedral, with 13 small paintings, large lush abstractions in cobalt, gold and maroon, ceramic vases with dried flowers, and tiled wood benches made with Theodore Vass serving as pews. Drawing on her convent school years and a feminist rereading of biblical texts, Yearwood-Dan reimagines Catholic aesthetics, embedding words from pop stars like Britney Spears and Nina Simone into the paintings.
