Collection Her City from Alissa Van Atta | Artwork Archive

Her City

Her City began as a collision of ideas - the strength and resilience of the City (specifically New York City) and the need to act in some way to fight the regressive laws that came from the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. Resilience, determination and strength can be used to describe New York City and Women. Stepping into the vibrant streets of New York City fills me with a sense of strength and boundless possibilities. It was this very spark that led me to create the mixed media "Her City" collection, where the subject of women merges seamlessly with the dynamic cityscape. Women, resilient and iconic, find common ground with the city—a symbol of strength, adaptability, and self-reliance. The "Her City" collection is an ode to the power and fortitude of women, showcasing them as strong as the cities they inhabit. Using a mix of cold wax and mixed media primarily on canvas, each artwork weaves together layers of tissue paper, photo images, and paint to create a mesmerizing visual tapestry. Here, women and the city merge into a harmonious celebration of femininity and urban vibrancy.
