Alice Hackney cares about the connection between people and the landscapes that surround them. Working at the intersection of ecology, femininity and disability, she combines labour and precision with ideas of homeland and community to make herself a place within the systems around her. Her work weaves printmaking, performance, textiles, cartography and sculpture, frequently incorporating collections of found natural materials such as sheep’s fleece, feathers, wood and cuttlefish bones. Alice explores the simultaneous strength and vulnerability of our bodies and our natural world. Drawing on her childhood surrounded by sheep in rural Derbyshire, she engages with discourses of land ownership, access, and usage. She imagines that every patch of earth is someone’s special place, and she would love to introduce you to hers.
