“In
A Type of Girl, Alexandria Canchola debuts a series of work that examines the roles society casts on each other so that they are simply a “type of character.” Canchola has investigated narrative through the combination of word and image, studying their relationship as they simultaneously merge together and break apart. This work showcases the significance that typographical forms possess using letters as formal design elements as well as basic symbols of communication. The color palettes used subvert the viewer’s idea of emotion; centering on themes such as loneliness, solitude, and voyeurism and showcasing these emotions in the bright powerful hues in which we feel them. The pieces on display reflect a broad range of work: gouache paintings, hand lettering, 3D printing, and installations connecting narrative and emotion.
