Ainslee Beery is a multimedia artist whose most recent artwork has taken form as screen prints, books, and other objects. Her art practice involves experimentation with objects, language, and processes of production to create 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Much of the work she produces originates from her attraction to outdated and/or insignificant objects, often plastic, that are a kind of cultural litter of (mostly American) capitalism, such as gumball machine rings, cheap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. She investigates the complexity of nostalgia devoid of over-sentimentality. 

​

Rather than being prescriptive, her use of language, often idioms and other common phrases, alters and/or blurs cultural associations.

​

She is committed to making work that questions and disrupts assumptions about how we position ourselves in relation to the world around us.
