Alexandra Warren

My practice is greatly influenced by the North East of England, with particular interest in the social and political histories that are tethered to these landscapes. Through a variety of mediums including drawing, hand-embroidery and video, my work is generated by visiting sites and gathering research to investigate the sometimes-post-human and post-industrial nature of these locations. Often referencing mythology, symbolism and utalising repetition, my recent work, including a series of banners and video work, explore how traces of socio-political histories are experienced in and influence the contemporary.
