Yeager Edwards: Sweepings
Season Office presents Sweepings, a body of new work by Yeager Edwards. The exhibition opens May 21, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. during Third Thursdays on Grand River and Warren. Season Office is located at 4892 Grand River and is open Thursday through Sunday from 12 to 5 p.m.
Sweepings begin with a photograph. Using his fingers rather than traditional tools, Yeager Edwards pushes, smears, and drags oil stick across paper until the original image begins to break apart. Starting from personal photographs and fragments of memory, the works move through a repetitive process of distortion in which recognizable forms slowly dissolve into gestures, textures, and blurred traces.
The paintings draw from the experience of remembering through images: moments revisited so often through screens that they begin to feel distant, flattened, or incomplete. Faces soften, edges slip, and details disappear. What remains is less a record of a specific event than the emotional residue surrounding it.
The resulting works hover between recognition and loss, holding onto the sensation of memory even as the image itself begins to disappear.

Yeager Edwards
Yeager Edwards is a mixed-media artist working primarily with oil paint, reclaimed textile waste, and hand-spun yarn. His work explores whimsy and fantasy as forms of escapism, often through the lens of the body in relation to material study. In Sweepings, Edwards extends his material investigations into photography and memory, using the physical gesture of working with oil stick by hand to trace how recollection distorts and dissolves over time.
