Freddie Yauner

Freddie Yauner's work celebrates NATURE, explores HUMAN cognitive dissonance and unpicks ideas of PROGRESS.

This is a Red Flag

Colour from the earth, made by the community, advocating for change today.

Pollen pigment

Freddie makes paint out of pollen. He does this because the layers of pollen recorded in the soil are a marker of the worrying change from extraordinary biodiversity to devastating monocultures. This change is driven by mass agriculture and, more broadly, by global capitalism.

Morris Quarter

Each year, Freddie undertakes ‘Morris Quarter’: a three month homage to William Morris from 1st January to 24th March (Morris’s birthday), where he attempts to ‘become’ Morris whilst making new works. Freddie’s obsessive interest stems from Morris’s extraordinary breadth of practice and his ability to present an alternative to how we might live - bringing creativity, meaningful work and the natural world together for the wellbeing of all people and nature.

Project Story

Botanical Scans

These works are made with a simple desktop scanner - creating beautiful images with very shallow depth of field, super hi resolution and depth of colour and deep black backgrounds reminiscent of 17th and 18th century dutch and flemish still lives. A growing series that captures the often unseen beauty of plants.

What I'm Looking At

What I’m looking at is a mirrored mask that reflects what the artist is seeing back to the camera. Freddie is currently building a series of short films exploring farms and food systems.

Watch on Insta

Food Systems works

Lots of Freddie's work focuses on the Food System and how it affects humans. The data behind it's impact, it's cultural meaning and the cognitive dissonance applied to food at all levels.
