Еллісон Енн

Allison Anne is a multidisciplinary artist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, working in collage, zinemaking, mail art, mixed media & graphic design.

The core of their practice is handcut paper
collage – a constantly evolving exploration of experience and emotion through the reconstitution and rearranging of various printed media and ephemera. By recontexualizing images and materials, allison seeks to create complex textural, intuitive abstractions and configurations which prioritize that which is found, discarded and left behind, exploring the intersections & interactions between context, materiality and creativity.

Allison draws on a background in cultural studies and years of diverse graphic design, marketing and communications experience to create thoughtful, robust and creative work for a variety of client, projects and applications. They are a founding member of Twin Cities Collage Collective, a group which strives to provide an inclusive community for individuals at all levels of creative ability to learn about collage in Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Minnesota, throughout the U.S., and around the world. The group hosts in-person events, exhibitions and publishes a variety of printed material, including an anthology featuring Minnesota-based artists called NORTH STAR COLLAGE, a project which allison manages.
