ARTIST STATEMENT
Aloe Corry builds fragmented bodies and branches, vulnerable to the inevitability of mortality and the constrictions of language. Her figures are wounded and rejoined, broken and mended. She works with painting, drawing, text, and printmaking. Her practice is rooted in observation: she gathers pre-existing stories, gestures, and bodies from her surroundings to build new narratives. Her eyes are restless, expanding images into new stories, series, and repetitions.
