Alice Wilson's approach to work involves travel into new landscapes as well as familiar ones, taking photographs that might end up pasted onto the surface of a work, in a reference to memory, or the postcard. Sometimes she places works back into the landscape, creating work that is holistic with its surroundings. She often references architectural features in the places they exhibit – paintings are made to mimic the size of windows or they break up spaces by repeating columns of timber with sculptures. This doesn’t make the work site-specific, it’s rather a tool used to highlight the dialogues between inside and outside, or emphasise the relationship of the work to the location.

Alice works with construction timber, plaster, photography and paint, as well as often improvising with materials to realise ideas. Landscape is used in her practice as a medium through which to discuss concerns with experience, access and expectation. The work’s interrogation of how we negotiate landscape functions as an allegory to educational, political and social structures.

Alice received an M.A. in Fine Art, in 2011 from Wimbledon College of Art, UAL, and a BA Hons 1st Class in 2005, from the Loughborough University School of Art and Design. Completing a residency in Aarhus, Denmark during May 2018 supported by the British Council, Alice returned to Aarhus in October for a significant Solo Exhibition Goat Moth at Godsbanen.
