Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
As a multi-disciplinary artist, Alyssia White’s mediums and processes are often guided by necessity and availability - though she maintains her use of prose and found objects as windows onto untold stories. Being heavily influenced by magic realism and metafiction, White’s objective is to create glimpses of worlds in suspension where the familiar mingles with the unfamiliar as the real conflates with the unreal.
White’s Artifacts series and Don’t Move the Mountain are a collection of ‘faux-relics’: the remains of a non-existent civilization. With a focus on the process of exposing, her latest series, Revelations, consists of relief drawings that combine collage with peeling back the surface of matboards to create images reminiscent of metaphysical paintings. These series are part of the artist’s greater intention to reflect upon the subjective nature of existence.
