BEGINNING WITH EARTH

Alexandra studied at the Art Academy London (2015-2020)  focusing on sculpture and ceramics, which has enhanced her practice. She works with clay, wood, plaster, paint, ink, using her fingers and hands to create abstract gestures, the pushing and pulling of clay, manipulating paint,  as well as the conflict between adding and taking away and pouring or splashing of  ink.   ‘Abstraction’ is a key part of her work, a breaking free from traditional methods, experimenting with form, colour, gesture. Alexandra is influenced by land artists, Richard Long and David Nash,  and she works with earth and clay as raw materials. She has created sculpture within the landscape, using wood, leaves and trees as her canvas.
