Aimée Beaubien’s photographic practice takes shape in inventive forms, disrupting the rectilinear format and traditional conventions of photographic presentation. Wild, fast growing vines creep about the garage, slink through the yard and climb all around Beaubien’s house and home studio. Inside the studio, hanging dried and drying plants mingle with huge tangles of cut and woven photographic pieces that dangle down from the ceiling. Beaubien will present recent collage-based installations mapping networks of meaning and associations between the garden, the ephemeral, and the photographic.
All faculty, students, and staff are invited, Q & A to follow the presentation.
Aimée Beaubien's cut-up photographic sculptures and installations explore collapses in time, space, and place, while engaging the complexities of visual perception.
