ALLISON BLAKE is a Vancouver-based multi-disciplinary artist whose practice intersects fine arts, industrial and architectural design.
Through her experiential objects and installations, Blake explores the human relationship to the physical world. Signs of the artist’s hand are preserved as raw materials are transformed into airy, playful forms that call attention to the movement of light and air and which invite moments of pause and presence.
Recent work includes a collection of raw brass kinetic sculptures crafted using hand fabrication techniques traditionally practiced by metal smiths in fine jewelry making and exhibited against a backdrop of light boxes reaching, from the floor, overhead.
Blake’s work has appeared in Architectural Digest’s, Get Clever, and she has exhibited at IDS Vancouver’s, Studio North. She is currently exploring the integration of light to her kinetic works.
