Alecia is a teaching artist, and former studio technician currently residing in the DFW Metroplex in Texas.  Her current work is a study in collapsology through media of ceramics, printmaking, and fibers.

 

She uses everyday objects associated with comforts of ritual and home with imagery using themes of collapse to explore the everyday banality and acceptance of a dystopian life. In the western world there is a privilege of disconnect and the creation of cognitive dissonance with our daily comforts.  She also draws on her experiences as an herbalist, integrating various aspects of herbal lore and traditional medicine. She has developed a collection of archetypal imagery to disseminate various concepts. 

 

Alecia's work does not seek to suggest that she has answers to any problems.  She wants to raise awareness, and spark conversation.  Even if it has to be in cautious whispers to tentative allies.
