Alice Mara creates earthenware or slip cast porcelain that then has digitally printed images upon it, making it both beautiful and functional.Above: Blue Skyscraper PlateIn her own words:My work is about the urban landscape.Having lived in London most of my life I enjoy walking around the place and taking pictures of buildings that interest me. I recently completed a body of work depicting my local environment, Walthamstow, which involved cataloguing a nostalgic journey of familiar landmarks.
By placing these images onto plates, I transform the identity, function and value of the plate into a decorative work of art which becomes readable for the viewer.Here are just a few of her pieces: Above: Her "Hanging People" BowlsAbove: Purple Bridge PlateAlice Mara's contact details:
