Alison Bailey Smith
Merseyside, United Kingdom
My work is definitely a by-product of the 21st century & I have been described as a 'techno -cannibal' by BBC journalist Clare English. My career has spanned 3 decades and three different countries since leaving Edinburgh College of Art in 1990. The motivation behind my work comes from being the child of post war parents, Scottish thriftiness and an avid watcher of Blue Peter! My need to re-use, re-develop and re-create can be seen in my use of ordinary materials in my creations.
I have been working with recycled materials for over thirty years and now just got my own "external' dedicated studio and more able to share my skills and my collection of junk!
