Alice Bahra Artist Biography

Alice Bahra is a multidisciplinary artist engaging with art forms including but not limited to photography, theater, fashion design, pottery and ceramic art. For many years she worked with clay, a natural material for making vessels. Each clay object is made as a unique piece. The pieces are repeated depending on the edition or demand. In the course of her artisan work, Bahra eventually began to cut up, nest, pile and build her vessels. The jugs, vases, cups and mugs became more physical, their substance became a sculptural material, they took up space, asserted themselves in space. The bodies began to move on the surface. The pieces of crockery on a tray now looked like figures on a playing field or like architecture on a floor plan. Bahra's decision to switch from coloured clay to white porcelain, which was no longer modeled but cast, opened up production with the means of reproduction. The model became a module. Free sculptural work took its place alongside her usual practice.
