Alicia Radage

Alicia Radage (b. 1989) is a visual artist working through sculpture, performance, video, text and sound. She is based in London, UK.

Radage is drawn to an Animist way of processing the world around them, detecting and deciphering the life forces of the more than human. From their human perspective, Radage places an intention to commune with the more than human in the objects, actions and soundscapes they make. Their core concern is remembering a fluency in spiritual connection by reclaiming and foregrounding, within a feminist framework, intuition and emotionality as potent creative tools, historically disregarded within patriarchal structures.

Time At Hogchester Arts

Being at Hogchester for a week was an incredibly productive time. The surroundings were beautiful and inspiring and Chantal was a fantastic host. I stayed in the Yurt which was dreamy. When I emerged in the mornings I would be greeted by a field of friendly goats. I would do half an hours yoga and then get goat cuddles. I’d then go for an hours walk around the magical grounds, each day picking a different route and discovering wonders every time, from the secret stream through to the huge ancient oak and ancient breeds of sheep and horses! I’d lay in the fields of wild flowers and meander through the labyrinth.

When I’d get to the studio I was inspired by Chantal and Rosie’s brilliant practices which spurred on my own. We laughed, philosophised, advised and gossiped as well as taught each other new skills and entered into periods of peak concentration in our solo works. I had prepared some of my first ever works in clay before arriving and Chantal taught me how to fire and then glaze them in her kiln! I also wrote, drew and painted. It was a wonderfully fertile time for my practice and I brewed new methods and ideas that I’m still digesting today. When exploring the countryside around the residency, we Morris danced and swam in the sea! Thank you, Chantal! Take Me Back!
