Alice Anna Ford is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, drawing, publishing, film, and installation.
Her practice explores how images operate as ecological agents — binding landscapes, rituals, and cosmologies into forms that can be held, misread, or re-entangled.
Working between digital and analogue processes, Ford constructs image systems that oscillate between precision and absurdity.
Her work draws on spatial thinking shaped by her background in architecture, engaging questions of perception, ecology, and image-making within the conditions of the Chthulucene.
Since 2021, Ford has collaborated with artists and institutions across Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Italy. She is currently undertaking a PhD at the University of Western Australia, supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship.
Her first monograph, The Pigment Pictures, will be published in 2026.
