Printed Flower Sculpture by Ainslee Beery

Ainslee Beery (she/her) is a multimedia artist who has returned to Minneapolis after an adult lifetime of living elsewhere. Most recently, her artwork has taken form as screen prints, books, and other objects. Her art practice involves experimentation with objects, language and processes of production to communicate meaning. Much of the work she produces originates from her attraction to outdated and/or insignificant objects, often plastic, that are a kind of cultural litter of (mostly American) capitalism, such as gumball machine rings, cheap souvenirs, and Monopoly pieces. Her manipulations, often laced with humor, expose the gray area and rough edges between desire and disdain. Rather than being prescriptive, her use of language, often idioms and other common phrases, is used to alter and/or blur cultural associations. She is committed to making artwork that questions and disrupts assumptions about how we ourselves in relation to the world around us.
