Alisa Fox

Statement

"Growing up on a ranch in North Central Nebraska, I attended a one-room red brick schoolhouse with seventeen other students.  These root experiences are the beginnings of my own natural cycles of exploration, development and understanding as an individual and artist.  This influence of these happenings, as well as the work of Lacy Duarte, Ghnda Amer and Lee Bontecou, are translated into the natural forms and "threads" that appear in my compositions. 

My work addresses the social and emotional issues related to women and the disadvantaged.  Visual motivation comes from the materials of traditional female roles, such as fabric an thread incorporated with handmade paper, printmaking (computer paintings and intaglio techniques) and drawing in non-traditional ways.  I hold on to tradition by using hand techniques and incorporate them with new ideas and technology"
