The Story Exchange
Cultivating curiosity and wonder by looking closely, sketching, photographing, and collaging.
Hey there!
I’m Allison Belolan.
Artist & Observer
My art is all about seeing, noticing, and responding. As someone who is constantly inspired by what surrounds me, I am filled with a healthy sense of wonder and a never-ending curiosity.
In art and life, I take time to understand the nuances of a situation before engaging. This mindset is perfectly suited to collage.
Collage allows me to take my time and explore the materials, meanings, and possibilities it presents.
I begin with fervent documentation, then move into a creative storm of experimentation and play. In the aftermath of the storm, I begin to piece parts together and form more purposeful compositions using handmade papers, repurposed papers, and more.
