Yolanda Stapleton originally studied advertising before moving into graphics after graduating. Since then she has produced works in product, photography, fashion and illustration, although graphics remains her primary area of interest. Working on setting up her label ‘Onetrickpony’ Yolanda has also been exhibiting quite extensively with work shown recently in Perth, Melbourne and Tokyo. Her first solo show is set for July and will be an exhibition of the ‘tiny people with rage’ series.

Yolanda was recently involved in the ‘Reunion’ show at Breadbox Gallery.
“I produced a set for the exhibition titled ‘Fire!’ it’s based in graphics but I wanted to move away from computer-generated work, which lead to this outcome. The use of non traditional media was great in terms of visual impact but also in terms of unpredictability, I had an idea of what I wanted as the end result but working with fire meant that the final outcome was never certain.”

Fire!
