A sculpture graduate of Duncan College of Art and Design, I now work in a variety of media making 2D and 3D objects.

Trained as a sculptor, and more recently pursuing an interest in printmaking, the subject matter, materials and processes of my work are diverse. Recurring themes include identity and the family tree, the natural and the built environment, and a desire to preserve and promote objects discarded, lost or undervalued. The processes I use range from bronze casting to embroidery and just about everything in between, with the choice of materials determined by the story I am trying to tell. 

Career path: I graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee in 1998 with a BA Honours in Fine Art (Sculpture). After graduation I spent three months in Italy on a drawing scholarship. I have been involved in a number of projects with artists from various European countries and have participated in projects in Norway, Germany and Scotland. In addition to my own practice, I work collaboratively with artist Patricia Bray on site specific installation projects and we have undertaken artists' residencies in Norway, Germany and the USA (see under Allison and Bray in the artists search)
