Aimee Pullon
She / Her
Playing with ideas around consumption, waste, subjective beauty and the abject, Aimee’s work considers our engagement with the so-called natural world, and our own bodies in an urban environment.
Integrating vastly different materials - from the traditional and grounded - concrete, metal, stone, and wood, to the unorthodox - scrap materials, decaying food matter, children’s toys, and other found objects, Aimee uses these materials as a means to explore difficult conversations around our own internalised prejudices - forcing the viewer to reconsider their own assumptions around what is beautiful, acceptable, and therefore of value - and what is supposedly not.
“I am drawn to whatever people discard, or feel a sense of disgust or separateness from - taboos, whether physiological, psychological, societal or environmental. There is something about this process - of transforming something that was once previously discarded or actively avoided, into an artwork, that I find to be highly potent. It’s a constant process of reimagining the unimaginable in order to breathe new life into it.”
Aimee graduated with distinction, from the Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2021.
