ABOUT ALICE ADLER

Alice Adler is a Sydney-based ceramic artist working primarily in hand-built porcelain.

​

Her practice centres on a highly labour-intensive Nerikomi process in which coloured clay bodies are layered, sliced, compressed, and reconstructed to create pattern embedded throughout the material itself rather than applied to the surface.

​

Working between sculpture, collectible design, and functional object, Alice Adler’s pieces explore repetition, distortion, tactility, and the tension between precision and instability within porcelain.

​

Each work is formed individually through a process with a high rate of material loss during drying and firing, resulting in objects that cannot be exactly replicated.

​

Influenced by architecture, textiles, and geometric abstraction, her work ranges from wall-mounted ceramic pieces and sculptural vessels to lighting and interior objects.

Alice Adler previously exhibited throughout the UK before relocating her studio practice to Sydney, Australia.
