Allison's "Black and Gold" series is an ongoing investigation into textures and edges through an earthy color palette of black, white, and metallic gold. These primarily collage-based works incorporate handmade recycled papers torn into shapes, along with repurposed artwork and painted papers assembled into abstract compositions that often evoke a sense of mountainous landscapes. With a focus on the interplay of materials and hues, Allison examines this different expression of her exploratory process, prompting viewers to observe the tactile surfaces and contrast of forms with a renewed curiosity. The rich blacks and gleaming gold tones create a luxurious yet grounded aesthetic in these mixed-media pieces. This body of work exemplifies Allison's talent for translating her inquisitive approach into visually engaging artworks that invite contemplation. To purchase: Select artwork, then click 'Inquire'
