Mary Aldwyth Dickman (Nov 21, 1935 – April 10, 2026), simply known as Aldwyth, was an American artist in South Carolina who created complex collages and assemblages from found materials.

Her work is principally about and minutely engaged with the history of art and culture. She worked "in relative seclusion from the larger art world". via W

(2026) Aldwyth, Ascetic Whose Artwork Reordered the World, Dies at 90 Holding to an austere lifestyle on a South Carolina island, she made collages and Joseph Cornell-like contraptions that told stories about art history and her place in it, and outside of it. https://archive.is/jifJY#selection-4461.0-4465.190

What a day! Met one of my collage/assemblage heroes at the Store, AND she signed a copy of her book to me. <3 #aldwyth #collage #assemblage #vintage #acklandmuseumstore (at Ackland Museum Store)
