ABOUT THE ARIST: ALLISON REHO
Allison Reho is a native to Beaumont, Texas, and resident of New Orleans for the past decade plus. While trained as a painter, her two-dimensional work verged on sculpture. Her process is one of adding and subtracting. With clay this looks like coiling, carving, painting in many layers, and multiple firings. Reho’s work captures and holds the relationships that have defined her life. Clay’s forgiving nature means that Reho can imprint and create works that are a direct impression of her physical and emotional state.
Artist Statement:
My first experiences with intimacy taught me to disassociate as a means of escape. When I first began to have sex, it was as a means to escape my household that held me, clenching, only to escape into more thorns and briarpatches. This reinforced even further that I could not leave freely, so I let my mind travel elsewhere. Disassociation became an instilled habit. We carry our traumas long past the abuse.
These vessels are female-bodied, encapsulating feelings and memories of the time it took to build them up, coil by coil.
I am a vessel, I knew it all along. I am a portal, the wishing well, drop your hopes and dreams down me, I can transform you, I can grow your seeds.
