Alison Harper is a textile artist based on the outskirts of Bath. She is currently researching, by means of a practice based Phd, the ways in which textile art and processes can contribute to an ethical dialogue between art, materials and social and cultural change.
Her work is about resources; motivated and excited by responses to everyday materials usually taken for granted. She creates objects, installations and provocations, often involving her audience in the production of the work; questioning attitudes towards value, ownership and processes.
