Alice Fox works from her studio in Saltaire, West Yorkshire. She studied Contemporary Surface Design & Textiles at Bradford School of Arts & Media and has a MA in Creative Practice from Leeds Arts University. She is a member of the Textile Study Group.

Sustainability is at the heart of Fox's practice. The desire to take an ethical approach has driven a shift within her work from using conventional art and textile materials into exploring found objects, gathered materials and natural processes.

"This is the story of my relationship with Plot 105 – my allotment. The book explains how my creative engagement with the site has unfolded since taking it on and how the plot formed the focus of my practice-based MA research. An essay describes my practice and serves as interpretation for subsequent art works that I intend to make using my allotment-sourced materials. The text is followed by a photographic essay. Together, text and image tell the story of how and why those materials - and the gathering, processing and use of them - are important to me."
