Alex’s work explores the impact of culture on our interior worlds. Broadly speaking he assesses the ways in which the artistic method lends clarity to the embodied mind and the ‘embrained body’. Specifically, his work with Cultural Epigenetics has contributed to our cultural and anthropological understanding of how trauma impacts us on the cellular level. He has been known to work independently or with networks of artists, researchers and citizens. He translates bodies of research into public events, drawing and print.
