Gallery Walk: “Within the Bitterswe et” with Allison Grant
\n\nWithin the Bittersweet is a dark\, pastoral na rrative about raising children amid concerns about the impacts of climate change and environmental contamination. All the photographs in the exhibit ion were taken in and around Grant’s home in Tuscaloosa\, Alabama\, where dense vegetation and natural beauty intersect with industrial and fossil-f uel facilities that dot the region. These industries spread noxious partic ulates and hazardous toxins across the terrain and into the air\, water\, and our bodies.
\nIn Grant’s artwork\, the dark realities of the lan dscape we live in are interlaced with representations of her deep love for her children and the physical world around them—a living tapestry of incr edible complexity that her daughters are just coming to know. The climate crisis will undoubtedly reshape the world they inherit\, and through these photographs Grant negotiates the beauty and heartbreak of raising them on a wondrous planet amid such rapid and impactful change.
\nAllison G rant is an artist\, writer\, curator\, and assistant professor of photogra phy at the University of Alabama. Her artworks have been widely exhibited. She holds an MFA from Columbia College Chicago and BFA from the Columbus College of Art and Design.
