Alice Royds

Alice Royds is a multidisciplinary artist practicing on Gadigal land at the National Art School, where she is specialising in ceramics. In her body of work, Alice is exploring practices she describes as “ritualistic feminine behaviours”; habits or activities that have been defined as traditionally and historically feminine. Practices surrounding textiles are of particular curiosity, especially the rituals, storytelling and symbols embedded in quiltmaking. Solid ceramic surfaces immortalise delicate patterns of lace and fabric, imbuing a strength to the fabric in honour of the way that women’s craft has always been an art form.
