Alana Tyson
Alana Tyson’s work attempts to make sense of the world she inhabits. Identifying herself as an outsider, not just because she is an immigrant to the UK, Tyson keenly feels the friction of everyday life and the contradictions and hypocrisy of society. Dismayed by such platitudes as "that is how it has always been," her uncertain questioning takes the form of performance, sculpture and installation utilising found, altered and constructed elements.
