The Whitney Center for the Arts in Sheridan is hosting an exhibit of Yoshimoto's work this month called “The Splintered World,” in which he explores the overwhelming and sometimes isolating nature of the 24-hour news cycle.

Wyoming Public Radio's Caroline Ballard spoke with him about the inspiration for his art. "The Splintered World" runs through April 22.
