Painting

Allison Moorhead

Archive

Allison Moorhead’s painting practice has been inspired from her found photographs from her travels in the United States. Allison has an archival instinct with a desire to collect. The images represent regular snapshots of ordinary people going about their lives. Each photo so different yet carrying the mnemonic power of ordinary snapshots. The archival process of the images includes some dating back to 1949. The images have a sense of going through time as the remains on the edges state they were once in family albums. Allison has no connection with anyone in the photographs. She can only go by the dates left on the photos and the personal handwritings left on the back of a select few images. Making her own interpretation of the people central to the photo and the life they lived.  Allison’s work is composed from the archive. Reimagining the people in the found photographs she illuminates the once forgotten memories. The images are from a different time it was important to Allison to keep this aspect of the work. Using her amplified colour palette and geometrical shapes to make up her characters creating her own unique personal archive.
