"For several decades, Aldwyth has been producing important work in relative seclusion... Her assemblages are responses to the physical landscape in which she has positioned herself... The artist utilizes the history of art and ideas as the catalyst for complex, often epic-scaled collages that resemble medieval manuscript pages writ large... It is my hope as curator to bring this work into public discourse—to introduce the world to an important artist who otherwise might have remained undiscovered" - Mark Sloan, from Out of the Margins: Aldwyth and the Cloak of Anonymity
