Throughout her work, Alice Channer has explored the potential of merging digital and physical realms to investigate themes of nature and consumer culture. Using industrial and post-industrial materials, her figurative and abstract sculptures are created with everyday materials like paper, textile, and metal. These materials are transformed through pleating, stretching, and other mutations resulting in an unexpected mix of organic and industrial aesthetics that call into question the relationship between the materials and sculptural processes.
Alice Channer (b. 1977, Oxford, England) lives and works in London. Her work has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Aspen Art Museum, CO (2015), Kunstverein Freiburg, Germany (2013), and the South London Gallery (2012).

In 2013, she participated in the 55th Venice Biennale with The Encyclopedic Palace.
