Bio and artist statement:
Allison Anne is a queer, nonbinary multidisciplinary artist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA (unceded Očhéthi Šakówiŋ land), working in a variety of mediums including collage, zinemaking, publishing and 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 and interactions between context, materiality and creativity.
Work by Allison has been widely exhibited and published, including appearances in Create! Magazine, Contemporary Collage Magazine, Cut Me Up Magazine, numerous collage books and literary magazines, and is held in the collections of the Scandinavian Collage Museum and the Minnesota Museum of American Art. They are founding member of Twin Cities Collage Collective, a member of the International Union of Mail-Artists, and part of the collaborative projects Morphic Rooms and Scissor Prism Orchestra. In 2022, Allison cofounded NONMACHINABLE, a publisher and distributor of optically interesting zines and printed material, with artist Jeremy P. Bushnell.
