Byorg Yonts  Byorg Yonts creates elegant sculpture in sensuous stone.  Over the last ten years, Byorg has honed her skills at iteliers in Santa Cruz, Mexico, and Italy.  Her work combines elements of classical sculpture with an elegant style of her own. Truncated limbs and rough surfaces imply the breakage and weathering of ancient scuplture damaged by time.  Sinuous lines, and seductive textures remind the viewer of the works of modern minimalist sculptors.  Byorg focuses on figurative and animal subjects carved from marble and alabaster, carefully selected for its grain and texture.  Her work is lusterous, and strongly reactive to light.  Byorg creates a balance between form and texture.  The importance of each seems equal, and the viewer's attention shifts between the bold and simple lines of the subject and the rich textures of the surface.   Seated Figure Woman with Jar Rabbit Woman cloaked in veined marble
