Aubrey Hays

Aubrey Hays

I was raised in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and a Navajo Reservation in rural Arizona - a varied array of settings that have contributed to my aptitude for solo treks and a remote creative process. Through photographic documentation I examine the ways in which the figure relates to the natural world around them. In negotiating my own surroundings, a process of performance and endurance is defined. By grappling with the uncomfortable, the disquiet, the unknown, I lay gesture to an overwhelming need to overcome isolation within these rural spaces, as well as within ourselves. In the placement of my body within a multitude of landscapes, I am highlighting an ever-challenging paradox of intimacy and distance. This riff in a seemingly pictures space, is informed by a personal coalition of nature and its aptitude for interference.
