Alice Channer's 'Worms' at Quartz Studio, Turin

Alice Channer (b. 1977, Oxford) presents 'Worms' at Quartz Studio in Turin, a solo exhibition that transforms industrial and post-industrial materials into sculptural forms. The title references subterranean creatures whose labor is often overlooked by vertebrate production chains. Channer uses materials sourced from the ground—stones, sand, fossils, metal—along with crab shells, stainless steel, recycled plastic pellets, and pleated silk. She alters industrial processes in rhythm and form, adapting them to a subjective perception rooted in lived experience. The works explore the mutation of matter and the evolution of bodies in post-industrial environments. The exhibition view shows interconnected pieces that read as details of a larger world. Channer invites viewers to participate in change, revealing richness in the minimal and the invisible creators of the earth.
