A collection of bronze hanging and standing sculptures by Alice Andrea Ewing.

Exploring ideas of place and landscape captured in the abstract, Alice Andrea Ewing creates these hanging and linear works, drawings transposed to bronze, alongside her botanical sculptures.

An artist and founder-sculptor living and working in Suffolk, Ewing’s work explores notions of place, ecological value, presence and embodiment through an intimate relationship with materials and process. Working as a founder-sculptor, the majority of her work is produced using the Renaissance Investment Casting process. Her proximity to the medium and all processes within it is an integral aspect of her practice.

Ewing’s larger sculptural works attempt ‘to make the quick long’, translating sketches and informal cartographies into bronze through an adaptation of the Lost Wax technique.

I have always created these hanging and linear works alongside my botanical sculptures. They are a different visual languages, required to say different things. All my work explores place and landscape to an extent, but there are themes and experiences which I find are better captured in the abstract. Hence these hanging and sitting works, drawings transposed to bronze. 

The earliest mobiles were maps, mapping water ways, rivers and coastal landscapes as I felt or saw them. Works here continue these themes, documenting estuaries or walks through the turned fields of Suffolk. 

In a way, they are also an exploration of the medium bronze and my relationship with it. I like to cast directly, as with my Pomarius works. These pieces are created in reed and wax from sketches made in the landscape, and are then cut up and cast without a mould, producing a unique piece as all elements are taken through the kiln and ‘lost’. These works move the drawn line into the cast line, keeping the idea or the feeling through changing media and dimensions. It’s an aspect of bronze I find intriguing generally, the way a work changes so much across the various processes without losing its essential essence. 

The smaller works, referred to as the ‘Navigation Series’, take the informal cartography of the other works and apply it to an interior landscape. These singular bronze works are a series of repeated forms and shapes, revised and recombined. They are works that cluster, pointing at something and at nothing. I’ve come to realise that they are in fact a means of orientation; small acts made within a studio practice now competing for time in the early years of motherhood. Just enough to remember, to stay in touch, to keep some space open and to return to.
