Tracings: in situ (2023) solo exhibition
“Through a variety of techniques and materials, Alyssa’s work champions a framework for interpreting unspoken connections between the built and natural environments. Inspired by ecological, seasonal, and corporeal cycles and rhythms, the body of work in this exhibition incorporates plant materials sourced from the laneway just in time for the Autumn Equinox. Alyssa’s work is powerful in its ability to fuse form and concept. Her material engagements, crafted through hours of cyclical tasks and methodical labour, are a testament to patience and process. Works in Tracings: in situ are as much a product of doing as of undoing, finding humility and hope in indeterminate states as well as mortality itself.”
