Alice Clough is an interdisciplinary artist, facilitator, researcher and lecturer with a background in archaeology, anthropology and spiritual ecology.
She produces sensory objects, installations and workshops that evolve in dialogue with place and process. She is interested in the translation of lived experience across different media, with a particular focus on the creation and/or loss of vitality or life-force during processes of translation. Her interests can be broadly grouped into:
- the body, the senses, communication
- place, ecology, belonging
- notation, code, linguistics
Alice seeks the cross-overs and the spaces in-between. She welcomes commissions and collaboration across practices and disciplines.
