Untitled (you couldn't say but I thought I knew), Letterpress on Hahnemühle Copperplate warm white, 7.75x8” 2024

To know what we say we know is a collection of new letterpress works by Alyson Provax. In this body of work she focuses on the limitations of language to expressing our individual perceptions. Words cannot hold all of a feeling: we’re always on the island of momentary perception. 

These works reference concrete poetry, spoken language, and diaries. In her practice Provax uses repetition as a drawing tool rather than to make multiple originals, which calls into question the didactic certainty of text and can cause the viewer to notice the experience of reading.

This exhibition is funded in part by the Regional Arts and Culture Council.
