One might say that he doesn’t just document reality, he actively shapes, even creates it. “Every composition is meticulously crafted, often requiring months of preparation, travel, and a high level of patience and precision.” What makes David’s work “truly important” for Wolters is his sense of purpose as an artist and the fact his photographs have something to say to viewers and the world. “Yarrow’s work stands out because it carries weight, meaning, and an undeniable presence. At Whistler Contemporary Gallery, we celebrate his artistry not just for its striking visuals, but for the way it moves us to feel, to protect, to see.” The White Elephant Saloon, 2024.
