Alanna baxter’s sculptural, digital and print artworks delve into the essence of community care in a post-capitalist society. Her pieces explore the interconnected tiers of self, relationships, and home, extending to the broader global community. In the current zeitgeist, characterized by relentless pursuits of new frontiers and ownership, alanna’s work serves as a poignant counter-narrative. She envisions a grand shift toward communal care, where survival hinges on mutual aid and collective existence. Through toying with materiality and recontextualisation of forms alanna synthesizes these diverse elements into a cohesive sphere of care, advocating for a world where we see all children as our own and every community member as family. Her work resonates with the belief that true progress lies not in individual conquest but in the embrace of a unified, caring village. alanna’s art invites viewers to reimagine a society where interconnectedness and shared responsibility are the cornerstones of our existence. The selected works juxtapose Western nuclear and monogamous fictions with multi-tiered models of love.
