Alison Underwood: Kate
“Kate” by Alison Underwood
Mixed Media on Panel
10x10
$700
Alison Underwood’s work spans most 2-D practices, including painting, printmaking, collage, and digital media. In her practice, the artist develops a visual vocabulary to examine the psychology of desire. Imagery of ropes, hair, disembodied limbs, fabric, plants, portals and flat geometries dominate her image making, bringing a visual dimension to the fear and anticipation that exists at the threshold of choice. She is interested in the tension that permeates moments like those before one boards a train, sends a text, takes a bite, leans into a kiss. And even more so – in those that are not culturally sanctioned, appetites that flirt with the realm of the grotesque, or demand a certain sacrifice in their pursuit.
