Alice Fox "Wild Textiles"

 

Author of "wild textiles" Alice fox is an artist based in Yorkshire working with natural materials that she finds, forages or grows in her own allotment.

A real connection to nature and craft and very knowledgeable about materials and sustainability.

A skilled crafts person with a fine art eye,

She exhibits work as well as runs workshops.

And describes her practice as process based. 

I think her work is beautiful and earthy and has a very folk feel to it, both old and modern as is nature -timeless-  a constant and renewing source of inspiration for many creatives.

Fits in with my current project jn terms of materials and connections with nature. I really like the egg she has covered in woven Dandelion stalks. A little nest.

I've foraged some Dandelion stalks from my own garden and Hope they dry out jn time to try some weaving to add some details to my sculptural works.
