SEPTEMBER 2010 – ALLISON J. BRATT
Bridge.
A show by Allison J. Bratt
A bridge helps connect or reduce the space in between us. It bridges the gap of our distance. It allows a handshake to occur, and for two, or three, or however many things, to be linked to one another. As I see it, everything is connected and a part of something else. Some bridges are just longer than others.
This body of work explores this connectivity to everything around us by using abstracted lines and shapes, and using formal elements of painting and drawing, such as composition, depth, color, and contrast.
This show is also a bridge for the artist, as she moves towards more focused and thematic work.
About the Artist
Originally from San Jose, California, Allison (or Alli) has been painting and drawing for as long as she can remember. She graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, in 2007. She has previously taught art to children, and currently works at a creative children’s learning center here in Portland. In her spare time she paints and draws, and enjoys creating pieces from reclaimed, reused or found objects.
