Series
Textiles in Libraries: Context & Conservation series
Video Embed
Textile based artwork is well aligned with stitched or folded book structures. Giving book-related examples from her practice, artist Alice Fox describes how an experimental approach to materials can lead to a variety of creative outcomes.
Drawing on her background in physical geography, Alice’s work and practice is deeply rooted in the environment, natural materials and sustainability, often combining textiles, found objects, and natural fibres and pigments from her allotment. In this session she shares examples of her work and explains how book structures are something she often comes back to in her process led making.
