Artist Statement
<p class="p0"><span class="c0">Alana Tyson’s work attempts to make sense of the world she inhabits. As an immigrant to the UK and a natural observer, she feels highly responsive to the contradictions of everyday life.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="c0"> </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="c0">Her uncertain questioning of diverse thematic concepts is a tactic for working through the problems she encounters, incorporating performance, sculpture and installation utilising found, altered and constructed elements.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="c0"> </span></p>
<p class="p4"><span class="c0">Tyson is drawn to dualities and incongruities. A commonality between her chosen materials is their link to domesticity. Everyday items, such as suit lining or crochet cotton, become carriers of meaning and reflections upon Tyson’s deep-rooted responses. The material contrasts and tension within Tyson’s work transforms the mundane into the visceral.</span></p>
