MANUAHI
ARTIST | Alison Van Pelt
Alison Van Pelt began this work with a perfectly painted, photo-realistic nude, then layered a scrim of linear marks over its surface to obscure the image beneath. The figure’s pose is free and open, a physical stance that mirrors a psychological state – open to infinite possibilities. The blurred paint represents a breakdown of barriers and constriction, the disintegration of the ties that bind us.
DETAIL
Manuahi is Hawaiian for Free. This painting takes me back to the time I lived in Hawaii. It was fun, exciting, awakening and wild. I thought that was freedom, but I was scared. Then I gained clarity about my future and that set me free. The plans I made then have carried me to this day. I feel like this girl is at peace looking to what’s ahead.
