Artist’s Statement

British artist Alice Joiner’s work presents intimate relationships, mostly between young women, and explores a sense of emergence into their own bodies and sexual beings. Her work has evolved from a hidden record of mental illness, emotional and physical experiences, including an eating disorder, depression, anxiety and recovery, to an expansive documentation of healing, relationships and connection with others, and growing into one’s own body and sexuality as a young woman. The work, which is of a diaristic nature, has been developed from a place of observation and a sense of understanding one’s own body.
