Annie Aube (アニーオーブ)
アメリカ・アラスカ州出身アーティスト。
彼女は主に刺繍を使った作品を発表しています。そのモチーフの多くは民話、おとぎ話、神話の中に登場する女性達です。
そのほとんどはあまり知られていない暴力的だったり恐ろしい話です。
花や鳥などの典型的な「可愛い」イメージと「女性らしさ」の刺繍というイメージの一種の皮肉やアンチテーゼとして彼女はそういった恐ろしい話を選び、描きます。
そして刺繍という「可愛い」メディアを通して一種アンビバレントな作風に仕上がり、彼女の独特で魅力的な世界観を表現する事に成功しています。

"Bluebeard" (French: La Barbe bleue) is a French literary folktale written by Charles Perrault and is one of eight tales by the author first published by Barbin in Paris in January 1697 in Histoires ou Contes du temps passé. The tale tells the story of a violent nobleman in the habit of murdering his wives and the attempts of one wife to avoid the fate of her predecessors. Gilles de Rais, a 15th-century artistocrat and prolific serial killer, has been suggested as the source for the character of Bluebeard as has Conomor the Accursed, an early Breton king. "The White Dove," "Mister Fox" and "Fitcher's Bird" are tales similar to "Bluebeard".

Artist Statement
As of late my work has focused on the medium of embroidery. Many of the pieces are of women in folklore and mythology. The reason that I chose embroidery as the vehicle for this theme is because I like the idea of Embroidery which is anti-pretty since the Victorian era embroidery has come to be associated with images of pretty flowers (this has not always been the case). There seems to be a sort of irony in Embroidery which is gruesome. Even though, during the Middle Ages it was more common. The scenes that I have chosen to illustrate are in some way or another violent. Fairy tales and Mythology are full of violent imagery, so I didn’t have to look far for the images which I chose to embroider. Most of the stories which I have chosen to embroider are obscure; I have for the most part stayed away from well known folktales.

Bio
Annie Aube, grew up as a pretty typical child of the 80's worshiping such super stars as, She-Ra, He-man, and Optimus Prime. Her days were mostly spent playing make believe in the woods behind her house with her younger brother and sister. As she grew older she slowly became more and more of a nerd, finding Lord of the Rings, Labyrinth, and Graphic Novels about Zombies. Now as the age of 28 she lives in Palmer, Alaska with her husband David Leonard and their two cats. Since finishing her degree in art, she spends much of her time embroidering, reading, hiking in the mountains or watching episodes of Sci Fi shows with her husband.
