Alice Kelson is a young artist with a background in modelling and psychology. She works across different media and disciplines having studied art in high school, on her own, at Deakin University and RMIT University, and is involved with holistic Art Therapy groups and practice with the hope to study Art Therapy at a clinical level in the future after completion of her Fine Art Degree.
Alice Kelson creates with her feet on the ground. She draws upon the melancholic chords of life as inspiration to urge emotional movement, which she then supplements with the focus on balance and visual silence to achieve a static harmony. What can you do with life other than swim in her river? She believes that water is enormously powerful and has the potential to heal on many levels, particularly spiritual and emotional, and represents the fluidity of life and it’s cycles. She is becoming aware of the constant flowing movement of existence, which travels back and forth, inside and outside, along lines and in circles, never ending and never existing. It is this sight that fuels her associations, perceptions and mindsets, which she then translates into the physical in attempt to connect with the world and others who share her artistic passion. Art is the tension that fills the place in between her body, being shackled to time and space, and her mind, reaching out behind the stars. Through art she creating her own self, and with this self she is creating art that shapes the world around her.
