Todd Allison  |  17” x 17” x 2”, Unframed  |  2023 | Oil on canvas

This mostly recent group of paintings is in response to past years’ unprecedented events and activities, where the inordinate amount of highs and lows demanded respite. With these works my process seemed to be an escape from a unique year and was driven by my process of recounting housed memories. The birds or their reference are players here, because they have remained constant in my daily activities reminding me that it all is okay.

Conversations along with some fleeting images that served as reminders of places, objects, designs, etc. have served as my impetus for these visual explorations. This was a conscious effort of mine to shed the present and actively participate with the inspired memories. The gun and hammer imagery have faded in this group of works, while mostly birds serve the relationship metaphor, whether building, destroying or just providing a path outside the compositions.

“Every corner in a house, every angle in a room, every inch of secluded space in which we like to hide, or withdraw into ourselves, is a symbol of solitude for the imagination; that is to say, it is the germ of a room, or of a house.”  – Gaston Bachelard
