"Reflection" By Yellena James
Size : 18"x24"
REFLECTION III
Mirri Copper foil
8 color screen print
"When looking at the seas without filters or polarization, we can see ourselves reflected back. There, illuminated within the infinitude of life that thrives beneath the surface, is us. Printed on reflective holographic and foil papers, this collection brings viewers into the pieces. You are meant to see hints of yourself within the delicate ecosystem that is teeming with life. My hope is to instill a sense that we are all a part of that ecosystem, as though our actions will impact it. Because they will." - Yellena James."

ARTIST BIO
Yellena James is an artist/illustrator currently living in Portland, OR. Preferring pens, inks, and acrylics, she combines complex abstract forms into dazzling images that take on lives of their own. Her colorful arrangements of organic shapes and tangled lines are at once floral and alien, organic, and sci-fi. Each intimate world she creates seems to possess its own ethos and its own special ability to radiate emotion.
Besides participating in shows around the US and overseas, she has done illustration work for Adobe, Apple, Relativity Media, La Mer, SAK, Anthropologie, and many others.
