Statement

 Allison Peck creates site-responsive installations addressing spaces as living entities with specific history, aesthetics, and context. Her installations are visual and material expressions of language: works in a space become a phrase or sentence. Each fragment indicates the whole without completing it, leaving room for the viewer to do so.

Considering space through the lens of both quantum physics and spirituality, it becomes clear that most actions/interactions comprising our existence take place in energetic/subatomic spaces that remain unseen and unperceived. With this point of departure, Peck poses questions about our interrelatedness and seeks to visually imagine radical futures.
