Exhibition Discription
In her first one-person show, Alice Aycock featured work from 1971-1974. The earliest pieces were conceptual photographic works, which showed how the artist crossed boundaries and examined directions in nature. Another work, Sun/Glass, documented a piece in which seven rows of mirrors placed in a field reflected the sun’s path across the sky. The artist’s circular wooden maze and low building with stone walls and sod roof (made on a Pennsylvania farm) were also presented through documentary photos. In the workshop, the artist installed an enormous wooden structure entitled Stairs–These Stairs Can Be Climbed.
