Look Down The 'Look Down' series was exhibited as part of INEXTRICABLE (2) an exhibition in the 2016 Brighton Photo Fringe Festival. The theme explores 'loanwords' in the English language - everyday words firmly entrenched in our vocabulary which have been adopted from another language. "Yvonne explores the connections between words and images. The photographs alone are intentionally banal and ambiguous. By using the history and meaning of words she highlights other possible meanings within the images." look (v.) Old English locian "use the eyes for seeing, gaze, look, behold, spy," from West Germanic *lokjan down (adv.) Late Old English shortened form of Old English ofdune "downwards," from dune "from the hill," down (n.) A sense development peculiar to English. Used as a preposition since c. 1500. Sense of "depressed mentally " is attested from c. 1600. shoe (n.) Old English scoh "shoe," from Proto-Germanic *skokhaz To stand in someone's shoes "see things from his or her point of view" is attested from 1767. lace (n.) early 13c., laz , "cord made of braided or interwoven strands of silk, etc.," from Old French laz "a net, noose, string, cord, tie, ribbon, or snare" and as preserved in shoelace (late 14c.), "piece of cord used to draw together the edges of slits or openings in an article of clothing". sneaker (n.) 1590s, "one who sneaks," agent noun from sneak (v.). Meaning "rubber-soled shoe" is attested from 1895, American English; earlier sneak (1862), so called because the shoe was noiseless. The INEXTRICABLE project has been developed and curated by Jenni Lewin-Turner of urbanflo creative .

Brain Landscapes "The ‘noise’ of persistent unwanted negative thoughts and emotions were almost impossible to shift; no amount of mindfulness calmed them. Sometimes painful, always doggedly loud, the relentless subconscious mind hurled fractured memories at me. Pictures would appear like a high speed self-flicking photo album, bombarding me with not just the image but the corresponding emotion, feeling or sensation. Happening too quickly to catch, pin down or make sense of. Brain Landscapes are a glimpse of that experience." Below are a selection of Brain Landscapes images, an MRI scan of Yvonne's brain and the resulting short film clip capturing the persistent 'noise' of unwanted negative thoughts and emotions. The film was exhibited as part of the neXus 2020: a multi-venue international art exchange organised and curated by Urbanflo Creative , with o nline galleries at Photofringe and Vrystaatkunstefees . 1/1

The Alchemist Tread the stairs to the basement and you will travel back four hundred years. Here you may glimpse a sign of the mysterious Alchemist. His transmutation attempts of lead into gold have failed. Now he wanders in shadows capturing the memories you have lost or left behind.

During the winter of 2019 I experienced a period where I wasn't able to sleep. I filled the time by crosshatching on an old pianola roll. The Pianola Roll During the winter of 2019 I experienced a period where I wasn't able to sleep. I filled the time by crosshatching on an old pianola roll. Working on a section at a time, I only ever saw what would fit on my table. As the work progressed I realised there was much more paper than I had thought. It took many many hours to complete and is my largest piece of work to date. It has the same level of detail as my Miniature Artworks but in comparison the size is enormous. I initially tried to measure it by unravelling it from the top the stairs at The Regency Town House in Hove - four flights up and it was still too long. Instead I measured in sections. The Pianola Roll is 691 inches or 57.58333 feet long, which is 17.5514 metres or around the height of three giraffes. Exhibited as part of the 3am Project online exhibition in 2022 Online Exhibition responding to the ideas of sleepless nights and nocturnal offerings. 'The Pianola Roll' was one of just fifteen works awarded as a highly commended.

'Drawing Insight' a collaborative project with Outside In and Chichester University Drawing Insight Drawing Insight: a collaborative project supported by Chichester University and Outside In funded by Arts Council England in 2017. Three artists were selected to participate in the Insight project; Deborah Petch and Rachel Redfern , recent graduates of the MA Fine Art programme at the University of Chichester and Yvonne J Foster, a Brighton based Outside In artist. Rachel worked in the capacity of project facilitator. The aim of the Insight Partnership was to bring together artists from different creative backgrounds in order to experience each other's ways of working, learn from each other and explore the connection between arts and health. The collaboration culminated in an exhibition at Pallant House Gallery in March 2017 and at The Regency Town House Autumn Exhibitions in September 2017, and included a series of public talks and practical workshops.
