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.
