Aida Lodge grew up in rural Vermont, where she spent her childhood closely observing nature, trying on dresses when no one was around and imagining the worlds that might exist in the woods around her. Intertwined questions about both ecological and trans futurity are still at the forefront of her thinking. Working in sculpture and image making, she uses the languages of science and history to feel out their own gaps: the things they can’t quite describe or locate, places the world’s inherent trans-ness is able to seep to the surface. Looking at data is one way to understand the world—but then again, so is licking it. Making sculptures (like licking) is a way of getting to know the material world intimately. It is a distinctly queer way of forming understanding—moving things around, looking at them inside out, willing solid materials to become fluid. Through making, she has come to know a world in which all matter is, much like her body, in a constant state of transition.
