Somethings Will Perish – Noella Allen
Evoking microscopic cellular biological processes such as cell division, destruction and regeneration are Neolla Allen’s process drawings which employ watercolours mixed with graphite on Mylar. Topographies of genetic transformation, DNA replication, mitosis and cellular tessellations are insinuated through the paths of watercolour dispersion. Noella also points to the inherent pattern recognition aspect to these works when viewed from a distance. For that viewpoint the sinuous forms coagulate into fossils, phantasmagoria and cannibalistic creatures.
