BIOGRAPHY
Alice Fox is an artist based in West Yorkshire, UK. The desire to work sustainably is at the heart of her practice and has driven a shift from using conventional art and textile materials into exploring found objects, gathered materials and natural processes. Using her textiles-based skill set and techniques borrowed from soft basketry, Alice makes sculptural works, bringing different materials together to form tactile surfaces and structures.
Establishing her allotment as a source of materials for her work has provided a space where Alice can experiment, exploring the potential of what grows there, planted and wild, as well as other materials found on the plot. Materials are produced, gathered and processed seasonally and by hand. As a result, each bundle of dandelion stems, bramble fibre or hand processed flax is seen as precious due its scarcity and the meaning attached to it through its sourcing and hand-processing.
Alice exhibits and teaches internationally and is a member of the Textile Study Group. Her books Natural Processes in Textile Art (2015) and Wild Textiles (2022) are published by Batsford, with Wild Weave due for publication October 2025. She also has a series of self-published titles.
