Alice is a ceramics artist whose intriguing labyrinthine forms have attracted international recognition. With a forensic eye, she produces highly complex and multi-layered objects infused with a rich tonal blending technique. Despite their intense, textured surfaces and serpentine glazes, her work is also recognised for its calming qualities. It’s this tension between the artist’s meditative colours and kinetic surface techniques that make each of her objects so compelling.
Alice crafts individual components from clay to create abstract scenes. Through a technique of repetitive mark-making, her work mimics the constant review of familiar objects we see on our daily commutes. Her references, sometimes mundane and nostalgic, form a collage of photography and drawing memories and backbone to her work. Grounded by this research, her work pivots away from the literal into the imaginary and abstract.Â
Alice’s desire to stave off our riddled digital reality is remedied through a process of intensely tactile moulding techniques. Her work creates a time capsule of discovery for the viewer to be drawn in by intricately detailed markings that feel deliberately contemplative.
