‘where have all the flowers gone’ is an homage to southern folk art and the nostalgia Dolly Parton’s music brings to me. The pattern adorned on this full body cast reflect traditional floral quilt and linocut illustrations. You can consider this form a practice for what I would dress Dolly in.

Her most notable work, ‘/200’ and ‘mommy’ have been exhibited globally at museums like the North Carolina Museum of Art and the Hunter Museum of Art. Her upcoming solo show, ‘Portals, invites viewers to look beyond the veil and into the passage to the afterlife. This will be an immersive sculpture and painting installation which will open at the Neon Heater Ohio this January. Ali will be casting locally in Durham and Raleigh through the new year and accepts anyone 18+ to sign up for casting.
