2018 FRANZ Rising Star Project

Concept of artwork 設計理念:

Alice Walton works with coloured porcelain throughout its malleable states, in an attempt to highlight the meditative process of the material. Her sculptural and abstract forms explore complex and intense surface textures and aim to provoke intrigue. In a world which is changing at a pace increasingly minute by minute she attempts to slow down, allowing her to create brick by brick, steadily evolving form. The repetitive nature of mark making mimics the constant review of certain objects on her daily commutes e.g. concrete bollards, brickwork and pipework. Her latest ceramic work is inspired by the environment she sees around her, the streets, the sky, everyday objects and the green spaces within the city of London. Her sculptural and abstract forms explore complex and intense surface textures, pushing the clay to its limits with the intent to provoke intrigue. She engages her fascination of noticing mundane street objects which we pass by in our everyday lives and investigates how they can transcend into the unusual and extraordinary objects which can no longer go unnoticed, forming a new abstract landscape.
