33
33 is a collection of works including a series of oil paintings based on photographs. The title 33 was the age when Alessandra began painting the series, which together forms a fragmented autobiography of the previous two years of her life. The story begins with lost data from a wedding she was hired to photograph and unfolds with her journey as a photographer moving away from the digital medium. The story ends with the remaining charger from her laptop, stolen from her at the exhibition.

Going Somewhere developed during Alessandra’s journeys across Britain over four years (2010 to 2014). With the road as her constant, the photographs chart the variables of automobiles, registration plates, road works, road bridges, traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, houses, warehouses, weather and nature.
