CuratorSpace Artist Bursary #19: Aimee Spilsted

Aimee Spilsted works in textiles, wood and ceramics. Salvaged and vintage fabrics and wood are key for ecological reasons and to achieve ambiguous tactile qualities. Pieces are deconstructed layered and reassembled and bound together using venerable methods of stitch, mending and repair. The original colouration of fabrics are retained, alongside earth and plant dyes, natural chalk paint, and wax. Rust tubes, salt sprays and burnt wood techniques are used to develop texture and patination. Clay is hand-built, press-cast and kiln-fired with glazes that mimic distressed textures and worn out colours.
