By The Fire
DESCRIPTION
Hand-sewn collages and mixed media on fabric | 2020
Fanny Allié’s practice is influenced and directed by refuse, lost and overlooked elements of daily life. She incorporates into her work found and discarded materials, including textiles and objects, juxtaposing these remnants to produce records of contemporary life. Acting as a modern-day scavenger of her own refuse and that of others, she repurposes abandoned everyday objects in an effort to expose the human traces woven into these materials, to redirect the waste of our consumer culture and to reflect on the precarious narrative that links us to each other.
