Alida Kuzemczak-Sayer

Alida paints, draws and prints her gestural glyphic marks onto Japanese Kozo paper - made from the inner bark of mulberry trees - before tearing the sheets and constructing draped sculptures from the strips. Highly tactile and enigmatic, Alida's work recalls historic scrolls, the soft folds of handwritten letters and worn bindings of books. Her work represents the objecthood of records of communication - the transformation of human thought and connection into language and artefact.
