Yannuzzi-Macias’s work uses a variety of material from found objects to video and sound. She also writes-mostly poetry. The conceptual underpinning of both her visual and written work stems from a belief that the process of becoming in a work of art, or experience, is as important, if not more so, than the outcome. Within this framework art is a moment in time that can engender history, poetry, memory and loss. Her on-going quandary into, and celebration of, the liminal states of being in everyday life such as ambiguity, indeterminacy and reverie have elicted an obsession with collecting non-precious material such as writing instruments. Her collection includes but is not limited to: various Ball Point Pens, Dixon (ticonderoga) no. 2 pencils (with white erasers not red), Pentel Rolling Writers, and bamboo pens.
Some of her ideas find form within multi-media installations,sculptures, writing, video and artists books where home, labor, and the passing of time are in constant dialogue with the larger social order-or disorder…
Ms. Yannuzzi-Macias is also involved in ongoing collaborations with artists who share similar interests and obsessions. Station 99, a collective begun by herself and artist Sarah Schuster in 2008 is a recent manifestation of her interest in the collaborative process and community.
Yannuzzi-Macias has exhibited both nationally and internationally. She was born in El Paso, Texas.
