About the Artist —
Alissa Alfonso is a Miami-based textile artist whose work invites viewers to reflect on the abundance, growth, and hidden wisdom found in nature. Her art encourages a reconsideration of our relationship with the environment.
In her series “Nature’s Medicine,” Alfonso creates pieces from discarded fabric and repurposed found objects, highlighting the abundance and waste of modern life. Using textile remnants and hand-dyed fabrics, she skillfully evokes the essence of medicinal plants, fungi, and botanicals. Alfonso sources planters for each flower from beach cleanups, repurposing beach balls and other discarded plastic items. Her work is compelling and often dualistic, asking the viewer to acknowledge the loss of natural elements while celebrating their enduring beauty.
This event is open to the public and promises to be a stimulating and informative exploration of the psychedelic renaissance. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the panelists during a Q&A session.
