Audrey
Large
Audrey Large’s practice merges digital and physical realms, using image manipulation and design methodologies to craft objects that challenge conventional material perceptions. Her focus on surfaces as ambiguous, fictitious substances aligns with the festival’s surreal and evocative ethos. By navigating the boundaries between hyperreality and materiality, Large’s work underscores the fluidity of form and the distortions inherent in modern celebrations.
She uses innovative techniques like 3D modeling and printing to create objects that challenge traditional notions of materiality and form. Her fluid, otherworldly creations blur boundaries and embrace the aesthetics of distortion and transformation. With a sensitive and human approach to technology and machines, Large infuses her work with a sense of empathy, emphasizing the emotional connection between the artist and the digital medium.
For The Distorted Party, Large presents pieces that embody playful disarray and digital surrealism, offering a fresh perspective on the relationship between technology and artistic expression.
In the refectory of the Hospice Comtesse, Audrey Large presents a striking centerpiece: a series of vases and calyces displayed on a grand table. The evocative and surreal centerpiece echoes the theme of reimagined festivity. This installation evokes the aftermath of a celebration, where the objects appear distorted, their proportions transformed into hybrid, otherworldly forms. Crafted in fluid, irridescent 3D-printed material (PLA), the pieces blur the line between the digital and physical, embodying the essence of The Distorted Party through their surreal and dynamic presence.
Born, 1994, France. Lives and works in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Large graduated with Cum Laude from the Design Academy of Eindhoven, MA Social Design, in 2017 and then joined the artist residency program of the Jan Van Eyck Academy.
