WHATS ON IN THE AERIE

An Unconscious Voice

by Aimee McCallum

24 Feb – 28 Mar

Step into “The Unconscious Voice,” an unfolding narrative of the ever-changing seasons, life, decay, and the interconnected roots of our existence.

Soft lines and the geometry of nature converge in a poetic artscape that beckons you to explore the depths of Mother Nature’s emotional spectrum.
Aimee merges two mediums – paper and nature – forging a delicate alliance that transcends the boundaries of conventional art. Creating a montage of Mother Nature’s feelings, inviting you to meander through a cocooned environment, contemplating the everyday magic ‘She’ bestows upon us.
As you gaze upon the intricate collaboration of paper and pressed nature, the lines of perspective blur, inviting a childlike innocence to take the wheel. Much like staring at clouds and rediscovering the world through whimsical eyes, this work seeks to capture the essence of navigating a mysterious and wondrous sea. Aimee invites you to get lost, walk through, and immerse yourself in the magic of nature’s ever-evolving story.
