I recently completed a body of work depicting my local environment, Walthamstow, which involved cataloguing (sic) a nostalgic journey of familiar landmarks.<br /><br />Using a computer, I enhanced the photographs to give them a fantastical, surreal appeal. I like the viewer to be able to recognise the environment that I choose to decorate the plates with, either through a sense of having visited the place or a general recognition of the London theme.<br /><br />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." -Alice Mara </span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD6EkygDpY-E94XODE8O1qzb9BvZ5XzYwYlRXz0-p3yuHXnlqG7uSqeY37SZ1nquVwkKzuLjYCJQdaI1xkGThmdzLcnk5gYkCEIY57UUAmi0Nrwbu060hr8ZdprfyiJYQdgOK26dGrjEQ/s1600-h/alicemara07.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389666920986351730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD6EkygDpY-E94XODE8O1qzb9BvZ5XzYwYlRXz0-p3yuHXnlqG7uSqeY37SZ1nquVwkKzuLjYCJQdaI1xkGThmdzLcnk5gYkCEIY57UUAmi0Nrwbu060hr8ZdprfyiJYQdgOK26dGrjEQ/s400/alicemara07.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 357px; height: 542px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">above: Alice Mara</span><br /><br />In 2003 Alice successfully completed her Masters in Ceramics at the prestigious Royal College of Art.
