Alexandra Warren

Gateshead
Visual artist based in North East England

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.
