Alice Cooke is a Cornish multidisciplinary artist using photography, film and written word.

Alice’s craft evokes harmony and oneness, opening the intrinsic connection between all. She celebrates movement, craft, traditional modes of living, ancient wisdom and simply just being. Alice collaborates with individuals and brands whose own missions also dedicate them to these themes.

Alice graduated from the London College of Communication (UAL) in 2017. She has exhibited in solo and group shows, including Artrooms Fair for which she was chosen to represent the UK alongside 80 international artists. Her work has been selected and published worldwide by Work Show Grow, alongside 110 artists from 30 countries, and her project ‘With Our Bones’, was featured by The Photographers' Gallery, discussing the current mental health crisis.

Alice's most recent collaborations have focussed on local makers and visionaries in Cornwall, creating photography and films with artists, chefs, meditation and qigong teachers, foragers and those leading the way into a more heart-centred future. Alice’s passion also lies in the deeply transitional and primal phases of pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

Additional to this have been commissions by companies such as Fortnum & Mason, Rodda’s, Yellow Kite Books, Ssōne, Beauty Stack, UpCircle, Magimix and Nomads Clothing. Other recent accomplishments include filmmaking for Kneehigh Theatre, a collaboration with Verdant Brewery, exhibitions in Porthmeor studios, New Forest Heritage Museum, Jupiter Gallery and CMR Project Space, a CAMP Plymouth commission and her work published in ‘Research in Photography’ by Anna Fox and Natasha Caruana. She has also collaborated with Women In Photo, Vogue Italia, Sabat Magazine and Bright Rooms.

Responding to both personal and collective experiences, Alice’s expression connects with freedom, truth and the tightly woven link between all things. Her craft takes the form of digital and analog photography and filmmaking, with a particular love of analog processes and the tangibility of darkroom printing.

Portraying movement as language, we are invited to look past cultural narratives that dictate a disconnection between our mind, body and environment, returning to the roots of our body and soul’s origins. Her work also integrates deeper themes of womanhood, ritual, spiritual identity, power, belonging and escapism.

Outside of her creative practice, Alice is training to be a Volunteer Specialist Support Worker at The Women’s Centre Cornwall, for women who have experienced domestic abuse and sexual violence. Alice is also a cacao guardian, incorporating the beautiful plant medicine into her offerings.
