Alice Martin
Artist Statement
A fascination in the visual and conceptual possibilities stemming from the interdisciplinary fields of art, archaeology and museology drives my artistic practice.
I challenge the ideas of experience and engagement through the roles of artefacts and curation. This includes, at times, the value structures of everyday items. Artists by nature have the desire to reimagine a space in a contemporary context. This creates a fresh perspective as creatives are not limited to historical means and do not have to abide by certain methodologies.
With this approach, I intend to question conventional ideas of representation with the hope to make the viewer less passive. I am also interested in the tactile and how it can add to a person’s overall understanding.
My work spans 3D printing, scanning, installation, casting, digital prints and printmaking. I remix open content files with culture, materiality and revisualisation being central as well.
