Alessia Marullo – BA/BFA
I rarely have an idea of the finished work, it often begins with a thought or an interest that gives me the starting point for an investigation.
Using painting, printmaking and language, I want to create a snapshot of infinite neurological pathways that make the invisible memories accessible to ourselves and the person on the other side of the exchange.
Memory is the communal denominator defining individuality.
I like to induce some images or scenes linked to specific parts of my life, then I let floating words and colours settle on the surface.
That’s also why I have an interest in neurology, cognitive functions, and altered state of consciousness. These are different portals into trying to pin down how and why create and interpret anything at all, in a universe that’s dark and silent unless there’s a sentient being experiencing it.
