YVES B. GOLDEN

Yves B. Golden is a poet and artist based in Los Angeles. She uses mixed media sculpture, performance, sound, and olfaction to unpack questions of human worth, dignity, and transmutation. Golden pulls from natural processes to articulate the flow and obstruction of converging histories — curing objects in reactive fluids to physically break down language and to transmute the temporal into symbolic sculptures. Her poethical practice is rooted in media literacy, critical pedagogy, and global disarmament. Her work has been shown in Jupiter Artland, Scotland, Yaby, Madrid, and The New Museum, NYC.
