approach of the magician

allison anne is a queer, nonbinary multidisciplinary artist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA (unceded Očhéthi Šakówiŋ land). Primarily, allison works in collage, zinemaking, book arts, 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.Their work has been widely published & exhibited around the world and is held in the collections of the Scandinavian Collage Museum ((Berkåk, Norway) and the Minnesota Museum of American Art (St. Paul, MN, USA).Learn more at allisonanne.com or on Instagram at @allisonannecollage.
