Alana Wilson
The vase & flower show III
Alana Wilson works primarily in ceramic, her studio practice also encompasses sculpture, photography, and printmaking.
Forming a visual and conceptual lineage across mediums, she questions the relationship between humans and their environments, and the scale at which we exist in nature. Drawing on natural, biographical, art historical, and anthropological sources, Alana’s work is visceral, intimate, and tactile. Her practice combines philosophical enquiry with material investigation, following instinct and experimentation. Firing to 1260oC allows the metamorphosis of surface degradation to be captured, preserving the transformations that occur in the kiln’s atmosphere. Wilson’s oeuvre alludes to the interconnectedness of all life, from the intimate to the universal.
