Installation

The installations of Alison Woods are a striving for harmony and common ground among disparate materials almost under oath to not cooperate with each other. There is tension among everything, and yet a unified containment is already in order. A strange sameness exists in each ingredient because of the strength of the components against which they are fundamentally clashing. In this regard, her installation work delivers a visual meditation on paradox as a thing enjoyable as it is inescapable.
