Aubree Dale: Resetting the Pace

The show centers around the trappings and joys of domestic life, habit and the pursuit of the elastic mind. 

Aubree Dale uses painting as a means of preliminary world building, exploring complex social structures and place. Maximalist ecosystems reference both expansive places of natural beauty and much smaller worlds such as a patio or backyard. They hint at long-term relationships, the capacity for loneliness and what happens when our ambitions exceed our resources.

From there, smaller works enrich and complicate storylines. Stacked with unfinished projects, consumption, and daydreams, these are snapshots of a memory, a wish, an inquiry into an imagined place or alternative scenario. Many of these works bask in the wonder of my small home-life, attempting to work through feelings of stagnation and overwhelm, by making micro macro.
