ARTIST BIO
allison anne is a multidisciplinary artist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA (unceded Očhéthi Šakówiŋ land), working in collage, zinemaking, mail art, mixed media & graphic design. The core of their practice is handcut paper collage -- a constantly evolving exploration of experience and emotion through the reconstitution and rearranging of various printed media and ephemera. By recontexualizing images and materials, allison seeks to create complex textural, intuitive abstractions and configurations which prioritize that which is found, discarded and left behind, exploring the intersections & interactions between context, materiality and creativity.
allison is a founding member of Twin Cities Collage Collective, a member of the International Union of Mail-Artists and one-half of the collaborative projects Morphic Rooms & NONMACHINABLE. Their work has been shown at a variety of locations around the world and is in the collections of the Scandinavian Collage Museum and the Minnesota Museum of American Art.
