Alexa Says: "I am continually inspired by the ambiguity of creative representation on a flat visual plane. I am drawn to compositions that have an apparent simplicity but also a distinct sense of depth.  I like to question, and sometimes confuse, the space within my compositions, thus questioning the space in which my subjects actually exist.  Because of this richness, my work takes on a playful, dream-like quality.  

Most recently I have been introducing more narrative elements into my work, but with a careful effort to retain the visual ambiguity that is so interesting to me.  I provide a few isolated pieces of information, and invite the viewer to finish the narrative.  The beginnings of something concrete become studies in objectivity vs. subjectivity, reality vs. imagination."

"‘Migropolis’ is the moving city, and the paths we overlap with other migrant creatures. My images regard the surroundings that move as we move.

People perpetuate a city by moving through it, changing it as they go. When a building is left empty, it will welcome the weary wanderers seeking shelter, becoming a shell that allows all occupants.

Behind gaping quiet windows it is possible to hear the ruffling feathers of the secret occupants, while vines quietly crawl up the sides.

I paint a building's last stand before the wooden boards to bow down to the ground. It is at this point that a building is filled with most robust life, bending and swaying in the wind as if it were breathing. It becomes its own. A curious visitor may feel wonder and wariness, as if they were crawling into the open mouth of a sleeping giant."
