Biography

Alanna Perrell uses their work to showcase the ways in which members of rural communities have an intimate relationship with mortality due to their closeness to the natural world. Impermanence is characteristic of the natural world, highlighting the fleeting nature of mortality and denotes death as a hallmark of life. Using horror imagery, Perrell does not use it as a way of extracting fear from the viewer, but rather as a tool to showcase the transitory nature of life itself. The fluidity and detail that paints and inks allow are used to portray somatic imagery which grounds rural life to the human experience.
