"Cast paper sculpture, sculptural collage, and altered objects are often my methods for deconstructing domestic vignettes of traditional success, power, and beauty. I think a lot about presentation and posturing, especially within the home, a delicate a space that serves both a projection of our ideal self and one that houses our darkest and brightest moments.”

Elizabeth Alexander is an interdisciplinary artist specializing in sculptures and installations made from deconstructed domestic materials. She holds degrees in sculpture from the Cranbrook Academy, MFA, and Massachusetts College of Art, BFA, where she discovered the complex nature of dissecting objects of nostalgia. Her work has exhibited across the country at institutions including the Museum of Art and Design, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the North Carolina Museum of Art, the Southeast Center for Contemporary Art, the Nasher Museum at Duke University, the Currier Museum and is included in permanent collections at the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, AR, Fidelity, and the Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC. She is currently associate professor and sculpture department coordinator at Montserrat College of Art.
