Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

Laura Aldridge's "Things that soak you (XIV)" is a vibrant sculpture featuring a fusion of textiles and mesh in bold orange, blue, and green hues. The composition is vertical, with draped fabrics and geometric patterns creating a sense of layered depth. The piece embodies an abstract assemblage style, employing mixed media techniques like dyeing and casting. It challenges perceptions by juxtaposing tactile attraction with barriers to physical interaction, inviting viewers to explore subjective responses, and reflects Aldridge's ongoing exploration of sensory engagement and duality in art. ...

Laura Aldridge works with a broad range of media; photography, textiles, ceramics, glass and with processes such as printing, casting and dyeing. Aldridge’s body of work moves freely between wall-based reliefs and sculptural assemblages or installations, playing on the abilities of ‘collage’ to operate in two and three-dimensions. Aldridge’s work often explores the double-bind of subjectivity and objectivity, making versus experiencing, viewing versus participating, attraction versus repulsion. Her work invites an impulsive response that is interrupted by barriers that limit a physical engagement with the work itself. At this intersection Aldridge allows the intuitive and the sensory to unfold - giving weight to a viewers own sensory reaction and experience. ...
