Autumn White’s work explores human and nonhuman animal hybrids, analyzing what it means when their bodies and ours are entangled. Their work venerates the unlovable, lurid, obscene or frightening so that they can examine what it is to feel subhuman: to fear yourself, your body, or the people you love. Autumn paints hazy and indistinct categories of personhood: mythic pale-horse omens, women escaping their lives by turning into fish, fantastic fairy insects shapeshifting before our eyes. The subjects of Autumn’s paintings are a little lonely, a little tender, and sometimes, a little dangerous. The biddable faces and bodies of their figures have pincers and claws to defend themselves, demanding the viewer’s attention.
