Artist Biography
Throughout their various print, drawing, and textile works, Aidan Dupuis centers healing and intergenerational storytelling. By combining elements of the natural world with fable narratives, they explore the many nuances of how familial narratives are transformed over time. They incorporate mixed media approaches frequently and adore in particular making sculptural paper objects stitched together. They’re never doing the same thing twice, and try not to let themself get stuck indulging in the same lessons repeatedly, always aiming to learn from the next emotional hurdle.
Tar Pit
Laying down felt nice, a softening. Aidan wished they could be the mouse, instead they splatted Him. Now they sink into the tar, living alongside the fossils. The stories all happen at once.
Tar Pit is a further development of Aidan Dupuis’ exploration into paper and textile sculpture after experiments in previous installations. They’re interested in how threads symbolize relations between family members, and how the medium embodies fragility. The work is a self portrait of the last 3 years.
