Taking an unconventional source of inspiration from perfect imperfections within nature and weathered florals found among foliage. Alice was inspired by the intricate patterns in nature, tracing raw texture, flawed surfaces and shapes found in the surroundings of eco-systems. The subject matter persists of fallen foliage, coarse florals and various textures, which fed directly into the print and surface manipulation explored within her sampling.
Alice’s working method is influenced by processes to create a sophisticated mixture of subtle and graphic variety of interior prints for the high end market. Focusing on screen-printing and laser etching surfaces combined with digital design. With light CAD embroidery to build surface
interest and create a subtle surface manipulation.
Alice has explored the contrast between contemporary textile processes with traditional and craft techniques for a soft and sophisticated collection of designs. Displaying a mixture of hard and soft materials, ranging from delicate silk to metal tiles, hand painted tactile qualities are compared, contrasted and illustrated through print. These elements highlight the lost beauty found in decayed objects and rural foliage bringing contrast to the usual organic matter.
