A central theme throughout Alice’s work is architecture as a metaphor for an enduring presence, shifting under time and pressure.

Alice identifies a rigid thing, be it conceptual (a rule, a law, a social code, an idea) or be it physical (a structure, a hard surface, a wall) and then she starts working on the soft space that runs around and over the rigidity, like skin over bone. Her soft spaces are often materialized in the form of cloth or underscored by the movement and presence of the human body as she assembles. The artist also collaborates with sound artists or improv performance artists to explore the blockages or available openings in the space before concluding per pieces.
Permanent structures are "the pillars of society" and Alice's work, in response, depicts a thoughtful entanglement of obligation, expectation, conformity, vulnerability, struggle, and resistance.

However, these concepts are significant in so far as you first hear her ode to the materials. The bricks, the velvet, the sand, the galvanized steel buckets...the irony of surfaces and the uneasy placement of elements, that is how the work is expressing content.  We might even borrow a thought from Susan Sontag's "Against Interpretation" where she warns that over intellectualization and interpretation is "at the expense of energy and sensual capability". The idea being to experience more immediately what is in front of us. A viewer must truly sense and feel the pressure, the humanness, the question mark in the work. The visceral reaction generates but simultaneously outweighs the concept and it is precisely this development and negation that renders the work profound.
