About the Exhibition
Alison's sources are often derived from literature and history. In this body of work, she combined disparate ideas concerning migrations, refugees, medical drawings, astronomy, architectural traces, and more. Visual representations of these interests appear as a shape-shifting progression where one image morphs into another, changes but still holds the prior imprint.
About the Artist
'“Printmaking is such a compelling and addictive medium —I have found it informs all my other work —painting, drawing and installation in terms of line and color. It narrows decision-making and requires plotting moves ahead, as in a chess game. I love the medium for the limitations that are inherent in the process. Line, mass and color are somewhat dictated by the materials being used. And as in any medium there is the excitement of the accident that leads to another way of making.”
