Alex is an artist and art educator living and working in Astoria, Queens. As a maker and mother, she is interested in human relationships with time, particularly how they are reshaped through cycles of care, attention, and labor. She considers the studio practice a form of meditative labor—a way of working with one’s hands that mirrors acts of caregiving, where repetition, time, and presence become generative.

Her paintings, drawings, and woven paper works aim to document and describe perceptions of time as lived experience, through color, shape, line, form, rhythm, and movement. Through weaving she builds layered surfaces that hold both personal and collective histories. These materials—fragmented, reassembled, and interlaced—echo the ways memory, care, and labor are accumulated. As well as how an artist’s work, their identity, and their personal time are fundamentally interwoven. Each weft is a record. A marker of time. Documenting moments spent in the studio, and the “work” that comes from it.

Her relationship with her practice and artistic processes taps into time as both linear and measurable, and as shapeshifting and transcendental. Identifying as an artist parent deepens her attention to the pace of her work, interruptions and the unseen labor that have become essential to her practice.

This artistic practice informs and is continually reimagined through her work as a teaching artist in New York City, where ideas of care, making, and shared time extend into the classroom.
