Kimberley Aurow/ Book Edition

Kimberley Aurow is an artist whose work advocates for neurodiversity through an exploration of construction-based materials and processes. Drawing on personal lived experience, her practice investigates how industrial materials can act as metaphors for both physical and mental weight, reflecting the often unseen pressures, resilience and adaptations experienced by neurodivergent individuals.

Created through a continual process of self-regulation, Aurow's work embraces intuitive mark-making and repetitive actions that mirror personal strategies for navigating the world. Through welding, drawing, and public art, she transforms industrial materials into expressive forms that communicate experiences of difference, accessibility, identity and belonging. By reimagining the visual language of construction and labour, her work highlights the value of diverse ways of thinking and being, inviting audiences into conversations around neurodiversity and inclusion.

Working across disciplines, Kimberley Aurow creates artworks that balance strength and vulnerability, using material processes as a means of exploring the relationship between internal experience and the built environment. Her practice seeks to make visible the hidden structures - both social and personal that shape how individuals move through the world.
