Serena Perrone uses various mediums to create both large-scale prints and drawings and smaller, intimate works. Uniquely combining techniques such as woodcut printing with hand-mixed metallic inks and delicate drawings in silverpoint and goldpoint, Perrone is a master of her highly refined use of materials. The mixture of mediums is reflected in the content of the work as well. Images of real and fantastical scenes blend together to create a narrative that is similar to a surrealist painting or film. The reading of the work is neither obvious nor direct; rather every element serves a specific purpose which allows the scenes to slowly reveal their intentions and meanings to the patient viewer.
Newer work combines textiles, ceramics, cyanotypes and poetry in a cross-cultural and cross-generational exploration of subject matter.
