ALLYSON STRAFELLA

Allyson Strafella has been working with a typewriter, making drawings for over 25 years. The results of this work are abstract drawings of extreme delicacy. Often typed directly on handmade papers, Strafella seems to push the paper to the absolute limit of its ability to capture the stroke of the typewriter. These fragile images sometimes seem to hang at the very edge of existence.

Recent exhibitions include field, Bartha Contemporary, London, UK, field notes, Cairn Gallery, Pittenweem, Scotland, wander, Sleeper, Edinburgh, Scotland, path, Nina Freudenheim, Buffalo, NY, fieno, fieno, fieno, Galleria Raffaella Cortese, Milano, Italy with Helen Mirra, suchness, with Helen Mirra, Large Glass, London, UK, studyline, Gallery Joe, Philadelphia, and Notations: Contemporary Drawing as Idea and Process, Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Washington University, St. Louis, MO.
