My mother always said, "Oh, if I was 18 again, the things I would do!"
I always found this kind of sad. What was she waiting for?
This piece is called Memories. Inspired by this observation of the way in which my mother chose to exist, my reaction to that, and the lesson learned.
For me I want to look back on my life with cherished thoughts of a life truly lived. I want joyous memories dancing through my conscious.

I am originally from Vancouver, BC, Canada . It is a beautiful city, but it rains A LOT. One thing you learn quickly is if you wait for the rain to do anything outdoors, you will wait forever.
Perspective is a piece that speaks to not only the physical challenges that we encounter, but also to the mental & emotional mountains we must climb in our daily lives. You can let the rain darken your demeanor, or you choose to see the sun. Cliche perhaps, but sometimes we all need a little reminder.

While attending art school in Paris I would often wile away the afternoons in a cafe. One such afternoon , some tourists ventured in, sat down & ordered lunch. Upon being served they called over to the "Gar Kon", "Excuse me, but could you please bring us some ketchup." Suddenly from out of the kitchen stormed the chef, knife in one hand, mallet in the other, & bloody murder in his eye. "Get out!" he shouted at them with a slew of expletives.
The lesson? Never mess with a chef's culinary creation!

I walked into an international grocery store and while my husband, the chef, got so excited and started dreaming of recipes, his art of choice, I on the other hand, was instantly enamoured by the breadth and range of the peppers. Such diversity! Spread before me was a perfect metaphor of the differences and similarities within a species, a study of our cultural tastes and mores, and a story just waiting to be told about peppers and our reactions to life with a little bit of zing.
Alison Galvan creates Folk Art inspired cheeky kinetic mobiles that highlight the humour in humanity.
Bicycle wheels symbolizing the cycles of life form the foundation from which figures as diverse in age as they are in race, sex and ethnicity, are suspended, twisting and swiveling, manipulated by the environment - an echo of our reality. The interplay of the figures and their specific placement speaks to the need to fit in, to conform, while simultaneously carving out our place. Her work is a thought-provoking commentary on our evolution in space and time and the judgements made and spewed both in the physical and digital universe that are so easily done at an anonymous distance. The mobile as a whole represents the elusive dance of ideas that flow from the ether through the artist and out into the physical realm and the recycled newspaper armature at each figure's core represents the secret stories we all hold.
Tall tales unto themselves, designed to catch you off guard, to make you laugh, ultimately, Alison Galvan's work is a study in her own personal growth and illumination of the silliness of our seriousness, poking fun at that which makes us all so very human.
