Hybrid Objects

Hybrid Objects form part of a series exploring old tools and other materials found on Alice’s allotment (garden) plot – found objects combined with cultivated and wild plants. Taking a playful approach to a set of old tools led Alice to explore ways to bring different materials together. This resulted in forms that suggest function but are essentially sculptural. Working with only materials found on site gives Alice a set of boundaries to work within and helps Her achieve a sustainable approach to her artistic practice. It pushes Alice to be inventive and explore the materials that are available to her rather than relying on what might traditionally be used. Alice is constantly learning from the materials she works with, always finding new ways to bring them together in interesting ways.
