Alison Lloyd

Studio A3

During the 1970s and 80s, Alison Lloyd’s artworks delved into the hidden interiors of bedsits and bathrooms; her photographic images appear like film stills, snapshots from a movie that was never made. Since 2010, her practice has refocused on remote moorland and mountainous areas, examining how experiences and techniques from walking can be rethought as artistic process and method. In 2019, Alison completed her practice-led PhD, Contouring: Women, Walking and Art, which situated her practice alongside a critical, analytical discussion of walking women artists from the 1960s and 70s.

Previous projects and presentations include: My Punk is not Dead, a solo exhibition at TG Gallery (2022); an image/text collaboration with poet Linda Kemp for SoAnyWay Journal (2022); a residency at Hospitalfield Arts, Scotland (2021); and The #MeadowBehindBars for The Edgeworker (2020-21). Later this year, Alison will return to the peaty gullies of Featherbed Moss and the Kinder Plateau to walk and camp.
