"Self Study X"-"A Shadow Of My Former Self" Pamella Allen 2010
|
About the Artist My creative process is an intuitive one Informed by the tragic death of my mother in my infancy and the mystery of who she was to me. I seek out, replicate and create all that I can and cannot see to uncover this confounding mystery I breath, I paint, I live in an attempt to replicate what I observed of this world and find place in it. A Jamaica born, Brooklyn based artist, I use artifacts from my life experiences pulled from memory and observation, my work is layered in process. Mixed media paintings, printmaking, sculpture, paper making, Installation, photography/video essay & prose combine to create my own archetype, a universal language of images found and remembered that speaks to the diversity of my Jamaican/African heritage and lived experiences traveling the world over land and sea. My works have been exhibited locally and internationally in traditional, "non-traditional" settings and in site specific corporate commissions for healing spaces. |
