Portrait by Betti Pettinati-Longinotti
"Rooted in a love of the ordinary, yet fueled by a fondness for the occult; inspired by Michelangelo and by miniature golf; focused on the black cultures of the Americas, but open to the parallel practices among the Irish, Israelis, and the Japanese, Alison Saar's work always seems headed down to the crossroads. It is an art that celebrates cultural difference and confronts moral ambiguities. It is an art that invites us to experience complex new revelations as we gaze forward and back, stationed at the threshold of a new century."
