Twitch brings together a collection of prints, paintings and illustrations by West Yorkshire-based creative, Laura Alice.
Laura’s lifelong love of birds were sown here in Wakefield when her parents would take her on nature walks, and feed birds together. She remembers receiving a beautifully illustrated bird book for her birthday at around seven years old, and while her childhood was often troubled, these moments stood out as ones of safety and comfort – memories that became especially precious. This shared love of nature brought her family together and these memories are what have inspired the development of Twitch.
Birds and nature remain vital to her wellbeing and creative practice as an adult, and revisiting these early connections back at The Art House, that was home to her first studio 17 years ago, has inspired this new collection of work.
