Artist Initiative
ACHF Arts Access
This project extends my investigations of language and how we create complex worlds of relationships and meaning out of the minutest information. Completion of seven or more new pieces solidifies the body of work I aim to show at Minnesota art galleries. I will seek artist talk opportunities at Minnesota colleges and art centers in conjunction with exhibition to engage ideas examined in the series. 2: Ideally, I will show and discuss this work in public Minnesota venues that are geared toward audiences that, like my sitters, reflect Minnesota's diversity. I am at the beginning of my career as an artist; though I have had rich learning experiences in my Masters of Fine Arts studies here in Minnesota, a solo show and an artist talk at a local college will provide me with valuable professional experience.
Allison solidified Tell Me About Your Mother’s concepts, discussed its details at MCTC, and showed the expanded work at Third Place Gallery and MCAD. 2: Tell Me About Your Mother gallery/artist talks at Third Place Gallery and MCTC engaged diverse Minnesota viewers and grew Allison’s professional experience.
