Alice Andrea Ewing
Founder-sculptor Alice Andrea Ewing grew up and lives in the Suffolk countryside.
Alice started working with bronze in 2013 after studying History of Art at Pembroke College, Cambridge University.
Working as a founder-sculptor, the artist undertakes the entire Renaissance Investment Casting process herself and considers this proximity to the medium to be an integral aspect of her practice.
With her Pomarius works, Alice looks to make explicit the inherent value of the natural/non-human world through ongoing site-specific residencies and sculptural outcomes. The resulting pieces are unique casts of produce/flora from gardens and locations around the UK, translating the organic specimens into solid bronze. The value imbued by this process and material is already evident to the caretakers and custodians of these sites.
All works are seasonal, with small collections produced each year. The bronzes are cast and finished at the artist’s studio in Suffolk.
In every case, the translation into bronze is understood as making explicit the inherent value already held by the organic specimens.
