About Alex Prior

In my work I am drawn towards locations within the environment that are not defined by place or setting, but by how they exist, the space they create and how they are perceived. I strive to create work that encourages the viewer to pause and look closer, to draw in and reveal the overlooked and the unseen. I look to amplify the subtle signifiers and traces held within these places and present these to the viewer. Layering and repetition are employed as a means to evoke dormant memories and these are often fractured glances of a fleeting moment. Experiments, and occasionally accidents, form an important part of how my work develops, I often combine various materials, techniques and processes to allow for unexpected results and the forming of new directions.
