Biography

Dustin Yellin was born in California in 1975, and raised in Colorado before establishing his art practice in Brooklyn, NY.

 

Often using a singular layered-glass process, Yellin’s work explores themes of nature at odds with human technological progress. Weaving together narratives of space travel, subterranean exploration, deluge, and inferno, Yellin’s work examines human consciousness careening into an uncertain global future.
