It is in the exploratory stage that I find myself fumbling through at the age of 48. Trying to remember that I am honestly just a baby in the realm of self discovery-I don’t accept the societal terms of having it all figured out just because I’m an “adult”. So yea, exciting at times + debilitating at others. Most often uttered from my lips, “What the hell are you even doing, Aimee?!
“Just trying to follow my heart,” I reply. Which, let me tell ya, in a world that believes success is achieved by how much money you make, or how many material possessions you have, following your heart sounds lazy to many.
And then I go on assignment for a magazine article and meet an amazing human being, successful artist, educator, architect and encourager who softly delivers such wisdom as this:
“You don’t have to have a justification and you don’t have to have an answer, because what you are doing is exploring + having fun doing it.You’re excavating as an archaeologist does. They peel away layers with these little, tiny brushes. What I’m saying is that what you’re doing and you’re trying to find, is what the essence is. So it’s a search. And as a great architect once said, that creation is a patient search.”
Conversation between Mr. Lou Gauci and myself- which hopefully gives you an idea of what kind of person he is. The following photos are from his in home office that he so generously let me document.
If you’d like to read more about him, has written a beautiful piece about him in that just got released this week.
Tune in, loves. Tune innnnn.

I enjoy the intimate process of documenting artists, their studio, and their practice. So when I was approached to take photographs for articles for Compass Magazine, it felt like alignment.
I am sharing a few images from session, along with an excerpt from the article that was released this week.

I love collaborations with other artists because inspiration flows with ease. You be you, while I capture it in my way, doing me. Simple + Fun.So I am reposting words to give context to this collab- to see the final piece hop on over to page!

“ I received this commission in 2024 and began an experiment in making a painting by way of emergent strategy. The canvas was a drop cloth for other projects, it lived in my studio and at home receiving the notes and sketches of my chrysalis year, it lived in my yard under Maple and beside our fire. I made this painting while attending to rituals of care, a skin and a garment made of Ash, burnt with the embers of my becoming.

This work was a catalyst and a womb toward orienting anew to object making. The invisible world of process and relation are easier for me apprehend and navigate than the concrete notions of reality as distinct forms and so valuation and exchange in our economic system has been a Wrastle Match of its own. This commission held me in the space between, it held my spirit in its materiality and helped to birth a new pathway for me to consider and participate inside reciprocity.

It is a performance piece made of kinship and the strain of existing in a world who won’t recognize one’s homeland. Thank you for seeing me, thank you for honoring my process who is me, thank you for nourishing us. The process of you is restoration incarnate.”
