Statement

A fiber artist from Worcester, Massachusetts, Alice Dillon has been interested in the arts and sewing since childhood, but began actively identifying as an artist in college after teaching herself how to embroider. Alice’s work focuses on combining linear imagery and repetition in an effort to bring androgyny to a classically feminine medium. Recent bodies of work have focused on portraiture, language used during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the importance of hands in lesbian imagery and culture.
