Alyson Fox

Biography

Alyson Fox (b. 1979 El Paso, TX) is an artist and designer working across many mediums. She received a MFA from the University of Colorado where she focused on sculpture, and a BFA in Photography from Florida state University.

Fox is consistently driven by curiosity. Untethered by medium and pledging no fine art or design world allegiances, she is a true descendent of the Bauhaus ethos of the multi-faceted maker. Shortly after graduating she brought her training in photography and drawing along with her unique material sensibilities to surface design projects. It makes sense that her independent studio output in the subsequent years has all involved an engagement with and experience of spaces for living. Peppered with her very particular experiences of shape, surface and the fascinating interactions between objects and images, Fox's work reflects how she moves through the world; seeing and absorbing the ways in which edges touch, forms overlap, shadows are cast or objects obscured. The creative outcomes of these observed moments can take as diverse forms as fine art photography, weavings, blown glass, editioned silkscreen prints, tufted carpets, wallpaper patterns and even a series of unconventional ikebana-inspired flower arrangements.
