Lunchtime Studio Visit with Fanny Allié

My mixed media and textile-based work influenced and directed by refuse, lost and overlooked elements of daily life, is an insight into the human experience and the precarious and intertwined narratives that link us to each other. Acting as a modern-day scavenger of my own refuse and that of others, I explore the connection between these rejected objects and the body that engaged with it, considering our relationship to the world around us through our abandoned materials while shedding light on the environmental and societal consequences of our throw-away culture. Giving voice to the human experiences and traces embedded within these materials, I elevate them as relics of ephemerality, memory, passage, life changes and loss. Fanny is the recipient of various fellowships and residencies including the AIM Program (Bronx Museum), Foundation for Contemporary Arts, A.I.R. Fellowship Program, Robert Blackburn Printmaking Fellowship, Yaddo Residency, Dieu Donné Workspace Residency, NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship, MacDowell Fellowship, Puffin Foundation Grant, Wildacres Residency and a National Arts Club Fellowship.
