Alison Jardine
Region: West
I juxtapose traditional drawing and painting materials with
building materials and postproduction items, all with an interest
in the friction between natural and constructed environments,
and our place within them. My work has been described as
“postminimalist pop,” which reflects my interest in the simplicity
and power of reductive geometric forms contrasted with the
fragility or brutality of materials and fabrics from the everyday
world.
Urban Flora are cement casts of plastic bags I find in urban and
suburban creeks, snagged on branches and rocks, like flowers in
the new “Anthropocene” era.
