In her experiment-based practice, Alice Morey problematises how materials, plants, microorganisms and other non-human entities are commodified. Her paintings and installations appear as processual attempts to establish a symbiotic and non-violent relationship with our environs: on canvases, probiotic yoghurt bacteria cultures interact with pigments; textiles are dyed with curative herbs after having been submerged in waters for months; pictorial surfaces are exposed to the influences of weather and the environment. For her first institutional solo exhibition, Morey has created a new group of works dedicated to her years-long experimentation with pigments and bacteria from yoghurt.
The exhibition is the third part of the solo-exhibition series One Thing Left to Try.
Alice Morey (*1986, London) lives and works in Berlin and London. She studied painting at the University of Brighton and fine arts at Chelsea College of Arts.
