Ari Bird has a background in printmaking and painting. As a self taught sculptor, she transforms accessible materials sourced from the hardware store or dollar shop into playful oversized sculptures of everyday objects. These sculptures and installations explore the psychological meaning we imbue in objects, how we use objects to self-sooth and self-identify, and how the trivial can become permeated with significance when given space and attention.

Ari Bird has exhibited in galleries and diy/underground spaces nationally. She makes props for drag performers and musicians, and is a Restoration Artist at Children’s Fairyland in Oakland, CA.
