Alice Momm is an urban artist whose practice grows from her longing to reconnect with the more than-human living world. Materials are met on walks: with picked-up things, written thoughts, snapped photos. Momm is drawn to the tension of working with fragile materials to bring them into the sphere of art. The collections in her studio are sewn, cut, woven, painted, collaged and photographed as she connects with the "beingness" of each thing. Faces emerge from bark shards, weavings are created from studio scraps, a flock of birds grows from old coffee cup sleeves, worlds are born and changed. Outdoors, Momm creates large environmental sculptures and performative collaborations. "Interlude for Millay," her evolving large-scale piece, incorporates a meadow, gleaned and sown plants, and Momm in the middle weaving it all together, responding to growth, decay, shifting light and changing seasons. All Momm's works encourage a deeper connection with the natural world. It is how she meets climate grief with love.
