Avion Pearce

Avion (b. 1990) is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily with the photographic image, based in Brooklyn, New York.

A world of imagined historical anecdotes and folklore is the world in which Avion places her work. Staging narrative scenes, using created environments, costumes and props, She attempts to fill in blanks left in western pictorial histories and texts . The characters of these narratives are immersed in the routines of the day to day, engaged in moments of tenderness, bliss, fury, melancholy and quiet introspection. The qualities of magical realism, traditions of historical documentation in institutions, and the family album influence her work.
