Lea Alexander

My work celebrates contemporary family life. In a time when traditional family values are threatened I highlight their preciousness by conveying lively and joyful experiences through experimenting with colour and varied print-making processes. By combining contrasting techniques and marks I echo the variety of characters, opinions and emotions within a family which together create a multi-faceted image. I use recycled materials to form a collograph and the idea that something of value emerges from objects that otherwise would be thrown away is appealing. This is reflected in my concept of grasping insignificant moments and transforming them into memorable and beautiful prints.
