Allison Peacock




Words from the artist:
1979

A homage to dance fundamentals and car ballets. And 1979, birth year of dancer and manufacturing year of the Firebird.

Allison would like to thank Pol Cristo-Williams very, very much for his creative generosity in this project, and Jonathon Osborn, Aimee Dawn Robinson and Barb Lindenberg.
