"I work across a number of styles and mediums, including drawing, painting, photography, collage and large wall works. My practice is characterized by a willingness to try new approaches in the ongoing investigation into new materials and visual languages. As well, my painting practice emphasizes the importance of failure as a way of moving forward, and challenging established structures. I use the space and exploration the work provides to visualize the invisible nature of the human experience." -Stella Alesi
