Visual Art – Sydney

Drawing with tinted charcoal on painted compositions, Alison reflects experiences of the mind influenced by the memory of music and theatre. "I am deeply inclined towards the inner world of thoughts, ideas and memories - an elusive space that can feel disconnected from reality. This feeling is brought to the fore in my work, which draws upon my formative experiences in music and theatre. From an early age I collected theatre programmes filled with sketches of period costumes and set designs, that have had a palpable influence on my compositions. In a theatrical setting the inner, imaginative world is championed." - Alison Michaela
