STATEMENT
Through a deep appreciation for natural environments, Alice meticulously seeks out and captures the harmonious balance between organic and man-made elements in their artwork, reflecting a connection to the world around them. They meander through natural forms, “wandering” and “wondering” what they will come across. Searching high and low, they crave the satisfaction of discovering new organic shapes, creating a catalyst of work that stems from physical exploration within natural spaces. The artist has developed a particular appreciation for fungi, contemplating the control that mycelium networks exert on the natural world and drawing connections across the subterranean realms. They have been investigating the forms, uses, properties, appearance, and colours of fungi, gradually building personal impressions that map out an individual perspective of fungi and mycelium.
She builds on the intrigue of organic shapes by incorporating elements from the modern man-made world, particularly considering its significant impact on the natural environment. The organic wildness seems to “tiptoe” around, attempting to avoid destruction. The artist views the artificial world much like the connecting web of mycelium, observing humanity as it stretches out and wraps itself around, permanently altering organic elements.
