Yvonne Duck

Yvonne Duck is a multidisciplinary artist based in Montclair, New Jersey, whose practice spans sculpture and photography. Working with found and organic materials including rusted metal, weathered glass, roots, abandoned nests, and other remnants, she creates works that explore resilience, transformation, and the relationship between human systems and the natural world.

Her sculptures often bring together elements that suggest both containment and release, revealing tensions between structure and vulnerability, conformity and freedom. Through photography, Duck extends these themes into the landscape, using light, texture, and atmosphere to uncover quiet narratives of endurance, adaptation, and change.

Drawing from personal experience as well as environmental and social concerns, her work invites reflection on the forces that shape identity, memory, and belonging. Rather than offering fixed conclusions, she creates spaces for contemplation and discovery.

Duck holds a BFA from Pratt Institute and maintains an active studio practice at the 1-7Five community in New Jersey.
