Autumn Mae

First an artist and secondly and Anthropologist, the art of Autumn Mae is a prolific collection of visual ethnographies, strewn together by their common goal to ignite conversation around otherwise ignored or politically, economically, socially sensitive topics. Each new series invokes new ideas, techniques, materials, modes and communities. Albeit a mix media artist at heart, it is in the end the ideas that decide the medium. Each artwork builds its idea upon the last creation. The art itself becomes the field study metaphorically, expressing in visual form ideas by coupling Aestheticism and reflexive objectivity. The act of creating, the process, material and technique become the road to the hypothesis, otherwise unknown until the titles reveal themselves through the research. Each work in the series becomes an event of research and peer review. THus the art of Autumn Mae is a psychogeographic review wherein each series is a new field study. Every study becomes a surprise; yielding histories of cultural progression, oppression, and reflection inciting and igniting a conversation about our future, our past, or our present human condition in respect to our geographical existence.

The Art of Autumn Mae is ever inspired by old and new conversations and is expressed in mediums from the traditional and Modern Academics. From Glass Blowing, Welding and scuttle to Painting, drawing and Paper making, ‘mix media artist’ is an understatement for the Art that has come to serve as a conversation starter; an ice breaker, and a bringer of hopeful ideology and forethought of evolution versus progression . The ideas expressed in Visual from are the direct impressions of the environment experienced by the artist formerly known as Autumn Mae; a gentle and aesthetic approach to an otherwise difficult conversation, usually.
