DUSTIN YELLIN – IF A BIRD’S NEST IS NATURE, WHAT IS A HOUSE?
2025-07-14As I tried to make sense of this cosmic and unsettling truth, I was reminded of Dustin Yellin’s work—specifically Politics of Eternity (2020), a 10,000-pound work composed of seven laminated glass panels that unfold as a sweeping triptych of civilization’s mythic past, industrial present, and speculative future. Structured in mirrored acts, the piece moves from an ancient ritual scene to a futuristic orbital gathering, with a central tableau depicting the relentless march of modernity across a sea of tall ships and supertankers. As with much of Yellin’s practice, it resists chronology in favor of simultaneity, layering fragments of imagery and time into a fragile but vivid whole.
