Resetting The Pace

"Resetting The Pace" invites viewers to explore the intricate joys and trappings of domestic life through a lens that melds painting, digital art, and mixed media installation. This exhibition serves as a vivid exploration of consumption habits and the pursuit of an elastic mind, revealing how our ambitions often outpace our resources.

 

At its heart, the show features large-scale paintings that function as preliminary world-building tools. These maximalist ecosystems reference both expansive natural landscapes and intimate settings like patios and backyards. They reflect the complexities of long-term relationships, the nuances of loneliness, and the often unspoken tensions between our dreams and our realities.

​

Smaller oil paintings and digital works deepen these narratives, offering snapshots of memory, desire, and imagined alternatives. They bask in wonder of everyday life, transforming feelings of stagnation and overwhelm into reflections on friendship and mentorship, while playfully engaging with unfinished projects and the clutter of consumption.

 

"Visions in Stasis: A Domestic Palette" anchors the exhibition with a mixed media installation that blends home improvement materials, flocking, and oak veneer marquetry. Evoking a pier and beam foundation in disrepair, the structure serves as a canvas for abandoned projects and unfulfilled aspirations. Nestled between the beams, translucent digital works hover over a retroreflective surface, invoking the illusion of a floating Pinterest Board. This piece embodies the tension between our ambitions and the constraints of time and resources, inviting viewers to contemplate our collective yearning for transformation and growth and the reality within domestic life.​

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."
