“Prints of my latest textile patterns I’m working on are on the walls. My new collection of jewelry for a small collection spring is off to the left. Getting ready to shoot it soon. My camera plus odds and ends of different materials I am working with for new sculptures are on the back left of the desk. Containers with markers ( just cheep old crayola), colored pencils, rulers, scissors and paint brushes adorn it all over. Sometimes they are spilled all over, but I cleaned my desk over the weekend so they are back in their homes for a few days. A piece of pressed paper is front and center – I am playing around with for a new body of work.”
Alyson Fox makes things from paper, fabric, books, ceramics, tape, wallpaper, office supplies, photographs, old tattered things, new polished things, furniture, and plaster. She has degrees in photography, sculpture, and installation art. She enjoys designing things for commercial ends and designing things for no end at all. Alyson is always working on a handful of drawings and can be seen visiting local thrift stores, hardware stores and eating chocolate for inspiration. Her work has been published in the New York Times, Nylon, Domino, and Lucky to name a few and has been shown both nationally and internationally. She designs a small line of limited edition pieces for purchase under the name “a small collection.”
Currently she is working on some textile designs and a few collaboration projects. Due out this year is a new line of plates, luggage and a book with her art. She lives and works in Austin TX with her husband and puppy dog.
I probably change my desk wall area every couple of weeks. It’s part of my process.
