Artist Statement

I use the process of representing the body as a means to make sense of my self and my embodied experiences. In this drawing, my body is folded in on itself to create a composition of soft and strong forms.

About the Artist

Alice Fennessy

My work is currently intertwined with motherhood as I raise my two young children. I find myself endlessly fascinated by the juxtapositions or dualities thrown up by pregnancy and motherhood, how these experiences can be simultaneously beautiful and ugly, ordinary and other, tender and excruciating. My work explores these spaces through materials and compositions; disparate images from fleeting moments drawn together in stark tones on surfaces such as paper, silk or aluminium. My work aims to be sensitive and vulnerable, casting light on experiences of life often disregarded. I studied a Bachelor of Fine Art with Honours at Massey University CoCA, and also work as a gallery educator and art teacher.
