Wonder in Aliceland: Memory and Self in Aycock's Art

Onarato, Ronald J. "Wonder in Aliceland: Memory and Self in Aycock's Art." In Hugh M. Davies and Ronald J. Onorato, Sitings. La Jolla, CA: La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art, 1986: 38-51. Illus. 120-23.

Essay in exhibition catalog covers Alice Aycock's gradual movement from work heavily dependent on traditions of Modernist and site-specific sculpture to work more based in personal memory and fantasy. Recent works reveal "Aycock's intention to express a less stable but so much more hopeful future life . . ." and suggest imagined environments with resemblances to construction sites, machines—even an alchemist's studio (45).
