Aubree Dale

“My work is maximalist and driven by a deep engagement with material processes, form, and complex palettes. It often serves as a complex record of memory, anxiety, and wish, creating unbalanced worlds. Hard and soft materials are transformed into transparent, billowy layers and obsessive mark-making.

 

I use large scale painting as a means of preliminary world building, exploring complex social structures and places. Complex ecosystems reference both expansive places of natural beauty and intimate domestic spaces. From there, smaller works act as journal or codex entries. Stacked with unfinished projects, consumption and daydreams, these are snapshots of a memory, a wish, an inquiry into an imagined place or alternative scenario. 

 

Subtle movement is a recurring element in my sculptural and installation practice, created through passive light, shadow and small ambient air currents. Much of my sculpture and installation is transitional,  informed by my work as a welder and drive to experiment with both new mediums and revisit traditionally domestic crafts.. Found object assemblage sculptures, made from rescued single-use items, home improvement supplies, and homemade bioplastics, create soft and dynamic artifacts and portals.

 

Online and in-person performance pieces are a new element that further entangle and extend storylines, exploring large group dynamics and consumption habits. These performances are incredibly informative and are paving the way for new concepts and work."
