Reflecting the inner experience through a theatrical lens.
Alison Michaela (b. Brisbane) is an Australian, mixed media artist whose work centres on experiences of the mind. She is influenced by the memory of theatrical performance, and the mental and physical sensations that occur in response to emotive music.
“I am deeply inclined towards the inner world of thoughts, ideas and memory. Music and theatre performances were my first experiences of an imaginative world cast boldly in a physical space. In a theatrical setting the inner, imaginative world is championed.”

“Quirky, abstract compositions merge with elements of realism. I’m in search of the uninhibited, spirit of the mind - a space that can also feel disconnected from the reality of everyday life.”
