CREDITS.
Alex Trippe is an interdisciplinary artist based in Central Texas. Her practice utilizes unfixed materials such as glass, wax, ceramics, and plaster to examine the impact external forces–gravitational, geological, and anthropogenic–have on the lives of objects. She studies debris washed ashore by tides, glacial erratics deposited on the landscape, and marks left from the meeting of a thumb and a piece of clay. She turns towards objects as remnants of earthly experience to parse out what it means to be touched, emotionally and physically, by the world and by one another.
