Andie Aylsworth (b. 2000, Miami, FL) is a London-based multidisciplinary installation artist. Aylsworth’s practice centers on the more-than-human, the varying relationships humans share with these nonhuman beings and what knowledge these beings hold for humanity. A recent graduate of Central Saint Martin’s College, London, she was awarded the 2023 ‘This Earth’ award by LVMH for her practice’s commitment to sustainability and traditional ecology. She was also awarded the 2024 Anthropologie X YoungArts ‘Leading with Creativity Award’. Aylsworth has exhibited work internationally at institutions including Tate Modern, the National Gallery, London, ICA Miami and the Rubell Museum Miami.

Creating a body of work based on the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) of her indigenous ancestors, Aylsworth shines a light on the detrimental perspective of western-centric environmentalism and its use of reductive binaries. These binaries focus solely on divisions of nature vs. culture, human vs. nonhuman or eurocentric vs. global viewpoints. Aylsworth evokes these dichotomies in her practice through her use of seemingly conflicting materials; pairing metal with natural fibers to convey an anthropocentric point of view. In doing so, she hopes to realize a ‘come-togetherness’ to break down the misconceived notions of western-centric environmentalism and instead move towards the cohesion that is achieved in indigenous knowledge – proving that humankind does not stand outside of nature but shares an innate inseparability from it.
