My instinct as an artist is to create work that calls attention to the whimsy or absurdism of things surrounding us. We don’t always realize the details of the environments we’re in, or take time to understand why they make us feel the way that we do. I aim to show things we know in freshly revealing ways - our reality as we imagine it could be, or what’s right under the surface of what’s already there.
Tierney Ailish is an scenic designer and fabricator from the southwestern peaks of Durango, Colorado. They are most drawn to stop motion and model making as a form of artistic expression, but enjoy any avenue of transporting an audience. The more immersive, the better.
