• Couch is known for her vividly coloured artworks that explore the human experience through a combination of different methods and media.

    Alexandria Couch is a visual artist whose work explores the intersection between dissociative dreamscapes and an expansive personal archive both historic and mythical. Textiles, recycled materials, text, paint and furniture are used to hold, mend, disrupt and document a vast interior world in which contractions are inevitable. Using shapeshifting as a mode of operation, Couch interrogates the space between the dimensions of her reality and indeterminate universes.

    The mixture of mediums, including monoprinting, embroidery, drawing, and painting, creates an almost unfinished style. This undefined aspect is intentional – it allows the piece to continue to be made, its unfinished nature mirrors the shapeshifting that people undergo in changing environments.
