About Artist Aiden Dal
As a boy, I could often be found in the woods behind my house playing in the creek. I would get lost in miniature worlds my imagination created in mossy banks, catching crayfish and marveling at how their seemingly rigid armored bodies could move so gracefully through their environment. And I was always making things. I built forts, carved sticks, made presents for all the people I loved. I attended the Emerson Waldorf School for 12 years where I learned the value of creating new things and became intimately linked to colors and their relationships to one another. I developed a deep connection to wood, learning its grain patterns and how to form it with hand tools. I learned drawing, copper smithing, clay sculpture and much more.
This led me to pursue a higher education in art at Hampshire College where I focused on metal sculpture, woodworking, bookbinding, printmaking, portrait art and jewelry. I created a thesis show distilling down the beauty of the world around me; it also wove in human connection and the stories/visuals inherent in both. I incorporated all of these concepts into physical pieces you could sit in, hold and behold. Now I am working full time as an artist in Durham, N.C., making a living doing what I love.
