The two designs reflect the young Australian’s interest in geometry and mathematics. Alice uses the geometry inherent in her designs and pictures to create three-dimensional sculptural objects. “Resonance” and “Harmonic” actually began life as artistic drawings, and they were then transformed into three-dimensional objects by cutting, bending and curving steel sheet. The same geometric base, with its poetic properties, can be used to produce three different results: a drawing, a painting and an object.
The name “Resonance” is derived from her conviction that when the final composition is harmonious, it is like a melodious sound resonating in the air.
Alice Abi
Abi Alice was born in Sydney, Australia, and currently lives between London and Sydney. Her artistic practice extends across a range of creative disciplines, from painting, photography and sculpture to sound and object design. Mathematics, geometry, folding, abstraction, colour and form are frequently explored in her work.
Alice has undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in fine art. Initially majoring in drawing and gold- and silver-smithing, she later completed a Masters degree in which she pursued painting and photography. Alice approaches design from an artistic point of view. In many instances her abstract paintings are the foundation for her product design. Alice's work is represented in public and private collections around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
