Alice Dawson
BIO
Alice Dawson is a Canadian artist that uses ceramics to explore complicated feelings of being human, the intimacy of looking inward to evolve and the act of sharing oneself with the outside world. She views self-reflection as an intimate ritual and studies how to communicate the private process of picking over memories through sculptural iterations—investigating the vulnerable and complicated emotions of tracing tangled lines of memory. Her current series of works “Looking Inside” expresses the disjointed and fragile feeling of opening yourself up and looking inside. From these feelings, she creates uncanny and surreal objects that evolve as new revelations about the self are discovered and uncovered.
