Alex is a hobbyist of design, art, textiles, photography and anything else they can get their hands on. Work reflecting their lifestyle and outlets, the goal of integrating art as not only a healthy outlet but also an essential part of expressing oneself, as well as preserving one's identity and place within the world, no matter how small. The raw enjoyment of hobbies has dramatically impacted Alex's perspective on life and humanity.
Homing in on their love of camp styles, colour, and the overall stylisation of modern life is reflected within their work, which is always fundamentally grounded in its core meaning but is subtly reflexive in design.
Alex sees perspective as being unique to one's time, and creativity is unique to one's eye of design. These works are to show another point of view and help people understand that the core values centre on self-respect, joy and being ethically human, ethically oneself.
The works selected express Alex's draw into textile integration and the ability to express an olden human hand craft via a more modern human craft; a collaboration with sewing and photography. The draw to textiles and texture comes from the love of human touch. Art always has a human touch, no matter how advanced it and we become. True art has the error of us, which benefits from new and modern techniques, so these works hold the idea of tradition but with the openness of advancement.
