Alyssa Patrick






Alyssa's practice is a mixed media exploration of the experience of alienation through the lens of nonsense illustrations. It bridges the gap between those who experience ostracization and those who do not by evoking empathy.

Her work is informed by the lived experience of autism and ADHD and how this can create social separation. The visual bizarreness places the audience in a position of misunderstanding, mimicking the artist's experience of the literal world as chaotic.

She abstractly engages with these ideas to make them more accessible and not limited to a single type of alienation. Thematically, the work can be applied broadly to generate a discussion about how universal this feeling of isolation is.
