Heidi Aishman’s “You Can’t Win That!” is at Gallery Stokes in Castleberry Hill through April 18.
Aishman will give an Artist Talk at the gallery on Saturday, April 11 at 2 p.m.
“A modern-day hunter, Heidi Aishman has mastered the claw machine. She takes her prizes home and mounts them like trophies, documenting each step. She says, “This recent body of work is about desire. We covet what we can’t have, we want what we are told is unobtainable, we desire things we do not need and we want what others have. I want to win the claw machine because after the first time I won, someone said, ‘There’s no way. You can’t win that.’
Heidi Aishman is originally from Boston and currently lives and works in Atlanta GA. She has taken part in numerous group and solo exhibitions in the United States, and South America including: Arte a Limite, Chile, Jose A.
