Featured Artist: Alice Thomas
Alice is a multidisciplinary printmaker whose creative practice focuses on using the mediums of linocut, silkscreen and risograph printing.
Alice graduated from Bath Spa University in 2020 with a Graphic Communications degree, and was subsequently awarded a position on the inaugural EMERGE residency programme as one of their design residents.
During the EMERGE residency, Alice began to create a series of connected works under the title of ‘Growing Pains’.
Growing Pains was a theme that I’d wanted to investigate for some time, my inspiration came from a particularly peculiar time in my life, after I’d just graduated in the pandemic and I was unsure of my next moves both professionally and personally. I’d taken to downloading an astrology app, where the stars informed me that I was going to be experiencing some growing pains, and I thought to myself ‘well ain’t that the truth’. Since then, I’ve continued to add to this body of work, including a variety of prints and banners as well as a piece or two which I’ve yet to release. I see the project as never ending, as I will continue to experience growing pains throughout my life, and I look forward to connecting with others and seeing how they interpret the theme and also express their growing pains.
