Alyssa Fanning's work focuses on the strength and fragility of the natural world. With a background in painting and printmaking, Fanning is best known for her drawings, which are highly detailed and mostly small in scale. The intimate works invite close viewing that reveals miniature worlds, illuminating the connection between the microscopic and macroscopic. Delicately rendered through a labor-intensive process, the compositions are meditations on time and inner projections of both the disasters and triumphs of imagined land and mind scapes – personal, cultural and ecological in scope.
