Alice studied at the University of Bath and the Technical University of Munich, with a particular interest in micro-architecture and the relationship between people, objects and space. She later completed a Master’s in Architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture, where ideas of evolution, experimentation and the changing natural world became an important part of her thinking.

Her architectural practice continues to inform her approach to art, particularly her interest in space, material, light and the relationship between the smallest details and the larger whole.

Alice began developing her sculptural practice in 2024. Working primarily in polymer clay, she creates intricate monochromatic wall sculptures from hundreds of individually hand-sculpted forms. Each element is made by hand, allowing subtle variations to emerge as the works build into imagined landscapes.

Her fascination with natural structures has been longstanding, from the intricate forms found in Ernst Haeckel’s Art Forms in Nature to a continuing fascination with the sea and things encountered along the shore. Alice regularly snorkels and has spent time exploring coral environments, including in Indonesia, where she encountered restoration projects first-hand. These experiences have deepened her interest in coral, its intricate structures and the vulnerability of the ecosystems in which it exists.

The effects of coral bleaching have also provided an underlying metaphor for her work: vitality can slowly leach away while the underlying structure remains. This idea of gradual depletion informs her exploration of fragility, change and absence. Through a slow, repetitive process of making, her sculptures leave space for renewal and the possibility of finding presence and vitality again.
