Alice Wang (b.2000) is a Naarm/Melbourne-based multidisciplinary artist working in the fields of photography, fibre, fashion, drawing, sculpture, sound, tattooing, and accessory design. Alice received her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2023 with an emphasis in fibre/material studies and photography.

 

Her photography emphasises the function of the camera as a lens through which we look and are being looked. 'In the Eyes Of' and the 'Still life' series subverts the traditional dynamics between the viewer and the subject, blurring the boundaries, by doing so, she challenges notions of objectivity and subjectivity.

 

The textures and compositions within her fibre work often evoke bodily structures, alluding to themes of femininity, protection, and the self. Simultaneously, her art hints at elements of obsession and desire. 'Excess' portrays a self inside the mask of material, consumed by consuming. ‘Infestation’ depicts the absurdity in placing the mundane on the pedestal, forcing meaning out of the meaningless, the seriousness of what is not. Her work invokes a sense of uncanniness juxtaposing the apparent comfort of the chosen materials.
