the-space-between

I began the bread-making and sharing workshop with the Rocket artists by introducing myself and my practice.
“Hello, I’m Alice and I’m an artist and I’ve been making work for about 25 years. Mostly I make performances.
My performances are about the way people treat each other; the way they are with one another; whether there is love and care in what they do to/with one another.
And my work always starts from everyday actions, things that happen in the home. I’ve made performances where I’ve made people a cup of tea (steep, 2002/03), or where I’ve brushed their hair (reSPITE, 1992). Once I went all the way to Scotland,(closed-circuit-surrender, 2002) to play a solo on a musical instrument: the musical instrument was an egg-slicer.
From my Kitchen. So, my work is often inspired by something coming from the bathroom, the bedroom or the kitchen.
In today’s workshop we’re going to be making and sharing bread.”
