Afterimage
Alison Peters explores ideas around media saturation, war reportage, symbols and memory, using acrylic, oil, and digital means to remake images from the Internet. Glitches, pixilation and resolution breakdown are left uncorrected or amplified as a metaphor for how the 'truth' of an image is sifted. We receive images from eye-witnesses and combatants, perpetrators and victims, through media outlets, on the Internet and finally through our own eyes. Alison explores how we network those visual vestiges and file them in our memory. Alison's cross-disciplinary practice is informed by her background as a television journalist and writer.
