About Carrie Yamaoka
Carrie Yamaoka, a New York-based visual artist, received a BA from Wesleyan University (1979) and attended the Tyler School of Art, Rome (1977-78). Yamaoka is a founding member of the queer art collective fierce pussy. In 2016-2017 Carrie Yamaoka was a QAM Mentor and a part of the Queer Art Mentorship Programme in New York.
Carrie is working in the expanded field of painting, traversing the practices of sculpture and photography. In addition to her work of silent resistance in photography, painting, and sculpture, she has, since the late 1980s, incorporated an attention to language and layout, and the embedding of words on surfaces, textures, in our minds and in our social structure.
Carrie Yamaoka has shown widely in the US and Europe since the 1990s. Her art is included in the collections of The Art Institute of Chicago; Buffalo AKG Art Museum; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Dallas Museum of Art; Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; Columbus Museum of Art; Sunpride Foundation, Hong Kong; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, 2022.
