Editor’s Note: Alyce shares a little bit about her art.
“Art is not just an object… a painting or a sculpture. It is a culmination of human energy, human emotions… joy, grief, hope or hunger… all things that connect us as humans.
When these emotions and energy come together as a piece of art or music the ordinary is made special. That is why art becomes an experience between the “creator” and the “experiencer”. A connection is made. We are joined through our humanness.
Always striving to infuse my images and music with a quiet power, I invite the experiencer to contemplate, to feel… to make a connection.
The act of making something that never existed before is mystifying.”
