Autumn Ahn’s body of work expands conventions of drawing, installation, sculpture, and performance to bring attention to the responsive conditions that construct reality within human experience. Studying the nature of materiality, embodiment, and landscape, she incorporates degrees of sensitivity and movement to unfix the idea of structure from a cognitive or mental way of knowing. Through its activation her artwork participates in abstraction, bringing forth the ways forms themselves stabilize knowledge, and therefore life.
