"Working as a hybrid artist and curator, the core of my practice is unpicking the work of establishment organisations and shifting their – and their visitors’ – points of reference. Using techniques of Institutional Critique and Artist Intervention, the familiar is made unfamiliar and power structures are brought to light.
Using craft, with its connotations of the amateur, accessibility and gender and exploiting its place in the art world, the work celebrates the mainstream and also unsettles it, taking objects from their intended roles and repurposing them in alternative situations and narratives.
Through re-appropriation and reinterpretation, the work aims to question the master narratives we get told and provide a space in which marginalised viewpoints are given space and alternative and contradictory conclusions can be made."

Alice Ballard - Artist Statement
My art is a reflection of my relationship with natural forms. These forms come to me
on walks, while I work in my garden, or appear as gifts from friends who share my
fascination with the beauty inherent in Nature’s abundant variety of forms. It is often
the metamorphosis of nature’s forms, as they change from season to season, that
attracts me. I am endlessly drawn to that universal world in which differing life forms
share similar qualities.
I spend countless hours contemplating a particular form in order to feel its energy. It
becomes a Zen-like connection not unlike a meditation. As an artist, I hope that
those who choose to connect with my work can share some of the harmony and
tranquility I feel through the creative process. Perhaps, at the very least, the viewer
will give those small, often unnoticed forms in Nature a second glance.
