Chicago artist Aimée Beaubien’s dynamic installation at our pop-up location at Minnesota Street Project combines cut and woven photographs of plants, plant materials, and mixed media additions hung from the ceiling in strips and waves that the viewer is invited to carefully traverse. Bold leaf shapes and twisting ribbons of photos entwine, cluster and creep. Photographed plants, interlaced vines, and woven topographies merge into fields of color and pattern and back again - expanding the ever more complicated sensations of reading a photograph and experiencing nature.
