Allison Bianco employs a range of printmaking techniques, including intaglio and screen printing, to explore nostalgia and its associated sense of longing. Many of her images depict familiar New England locations - coastal Matunuck, The Old Man of the Mountain - and suggest the manufacturing of memories that blur past and present.
