Alice Forward's practice essentially centres around ambiguities in human perceptions of nature, responding to in her contemporary environment, whereever that might be. This involves minute exploration through the languages of sculpture, film, and drawing, often in collaboration with her partner Louise Short, under the name of Short&Forward.  Both are passionate believers in slow art, which is one of the many reasons for finding rural living so conducive.

Pyre (Ash) is on show in the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin until September 2025

Short&Forward collaboration SLOUGH will be screened with the installation Remnant in the Welsh National Eisteddfod 2025, and also S T A G, which showed at Mecklenburgh Gardens Project London in 2024, and SYMUD Exhibition of Moving Image at Oriel CARN 2025. 

Twnel was purchased for the National Library of Wales collection in 2021, and Pyre (Ash) was winner of the RWA  Academy Prize in 2022
