Alice Fox is a West Yorkshire-based artist who is hugely influenced by the natural world; the land, the coast and man’s impact on it.
She weaves, sews, twists and plaits organic and found materials; from leaves, to nettle fibre, to wild dandelion stems, to flax that she grows on her allotment. She uses limpet shells, old garden tools, beach-combed plastic, found metal objects. She has even woven the ubiquitous plastic bag, repurposing it into string.
Her work is incredibly beautiful and inspiring – delicate, strong and tactile. Have a browse of her Instagram feed – it’s fabulous!
My process-led practice is based on personal engagement with landscape and has sustainability at its heart. I am fascinated by the detail of organic things and my work celebrates and carries an essence of what I experience in the natural world.
Alice recently published a book, entitled Wild Textiles: Grown, Foraged, Found which is available on her website, Amazon, Batsford Books and WH Smith.
