Allison Alford

My name is Allison Alford and as an artist, my work flows from my relationships with my pets, gardening, habitat restoration and natural dyeing. I graduated with a Masters of Fine Arts from Claremont Graduate University and in 2018 started Next of Kin Studio, now known as, Mother Animal, with my partner. We are a small studio interested in de-objectifying and re-enchanting our relationships with domestic and wild plants and animals through play and tiny experiments. My practice in natural dyeing stems from these relationships.
