Alice Elizabeth Clara Banfield

A multidisciplinary artist based in Cardiff, Wales.

In Ursula K. Le Guin’s short story Vaster Than Empires and More Slow, the forest is a metaphor for the mind; a forest that is ‘unexplored, unending…’ where we ‘get lost in the forest, every night, alone.’ I use the forest in a multi-faced practice to construct a world building narrative where I manifest my own experiences of being neurodivergent. I use humour to navigate and question autism’s representation in society, as it is often portrayed as a disease that needs to be cured.

As my work is often playful, I would like to collaborate in experimental projects - I am enthusiastic about learning new methods of making.
