Alex Hackett is an artist, writer and anthropogastronomer living on the Isle of Lewis. Her work exists in the shifting boundaries of the natural and the unnatural, across fields of poetics, photography, installation and the edible.

 

Her practice investigates parallels between elements of what we might consider ‘natural’ landscapes and the non-human, and our personal and emotional states of mind.

 

Informed by traditional domestic practices and drawing on the poetry of our relations with others, her work offers a personal storytelling which uncovers possibilities for new ritual and significance, and a more hopeful and honest way of living with other beings in the contemporary world.
