Exhibition Text by Sonali Menezes // Martha Street Studio is pleased to present Echoes, a solo exhibition by Alana MacDougall (MB). Echoes explores remembered, reinterpreted, and reimagined imagery generated by medical imaging technology. The schematization of forms allows them to defy easy categorization, simultaneously suggesting the cells, organs, geological formations, or the celestial. In addition to reflecting on the abstract nature of medical imagery, the work explores mortality, and the vulnerability of our bodies in the context of illness and western medical intervention. The artist draws on her experience as a patient to explore psychological impacts of cultural and systemic norms on communication and agency. Echoes investigates this schematic imagery through linocut embossing, silkscreen printing, drawing, and ceramic sculpture (often in combination). MacDougall combines a plurality of methods of production in this exhibition. Sometimes beginning by drawing before scanning, printing, and reworking with drawing again, MacDougall also uses materials and processes connected to linocut printing to emboss images onto porcelain clay. Print strategies are explored in three dimensions through hand-altered cast-porcelain multiples. // Through sculpture, installation, drawing, and printmaking, MacDougall reflects on mortality, and the vulnerability of our bodies in the context of illness and western medical intervention. Drawing on her experience as a woman and patient, MacDougall explores the psychological impacts of cultural and systemic norms on communication and agency. Often, information is withheld and decisions are made without patient consultation.

Embedded is an exhibition of digital photos and folded paper structures that suggests an alternative experience of the ordinary. Fillion’swork is metaphorical, abstract, and meditative as it guides us belowthe surface of our relationships with the places and objects thatsurround us. Images are filled with chimerical beings and archetypesthat touch upon sub-conscious ideas, offering an invitation to becomeimmersed in looking and receptive to the pleasures of free association.The shadows and shifts found in her work uncover the beautiful, thefragile and the ominous, redefining our sense of reality. // In this new body of work, Fillion works to disrupt our relationshipwith the familiar and the mundane by revealing the intrinsic vitality ofinanimate objects. Excavating deeply into the commonplace object oftissue gift wrapping paper to uncover what lies hidden below, Embedded delves into unexpected tunnels of thoughts and experiences. Fillion’s approach is explorative and playful in nature. The creativeprocess for this body of work began through photographing handmadetissue paper structures, hung in front of a window. Through layeringimages of the paper and sculpting the shapes with a light brush inPhotoshop, Fillion creates surreal compositions that reveal encrustedforms of insects, winged creatures, and other whimsical beasts. Composed of two-dimensional photographs, organic in nature and oftenpossessing a sculptural quality, Fillion’s pieces become constructionsof evocative forms filled with ambiguity and introspection suggestingthe idea of transformation. Shapes embedded in the images evoke theuniversal in the form of symbols
