In this new series of wall plates, Behind Closed Doors, I reimagine source imagery from a book titled In Praise of the Backside. The book’s collection features women from behind, as captured most often by men, frequently untitled and anonymous. In my reinterpretation of these images, the women transcend their status as objects of line and shade, to become subjects with emotion, thought, and a place of belonging.
This series of six uniquely shaped mixed-media artworks captivates with its dynamic storytelling and visual diversity. Each piece, varying in form from circles to heart shapes, intricately blends vibrant colors and detailed scenes, inviting viewers into a realm of narrative exploration. The first artwork depicts a domestic setting rich in cultural motifs, while another captures an outdoor environment with whimsical elements. The use of texture and pattern intensifies the visual impact, effectively drawing in the audience to examine each detail. This series stands out for its innovative use of form and composition, breaking away from traditional rectangular canvases. The artworks collectively explore themes of daily life and imaginative fantasy, creating a compelling tapestry that is both intimate and expansive. Through this collection, the artist demonstrates a profound ability to merge narrative and form, establishing a distinct and captivating visual language.
This intriguing artwork consists of six distinct pieces, each shaped uniquely—ranging from circles to a heart. The vivid scenes depict everyday life infused with vibrant details and cultural nuance. Each piece presents a different narrative, from domestic settings to dynamic outdoor interactions. There's a seamless blend of traditional and contemporary elements, creating a rich tapestry of colors and forms. The use of perspective and intricate detailing invites viewers to delve into each scene, discovering nuanced stories within the layers. The artwork’s charm lies in its ability to capture moments of daily life with authenticity and artistic flair, making each piece a standalone tale while maintaining cohesion across the series.

Presentation
Alex Hodge was always drawn to the arts and regularly channeled her creativity as a child whether in watercolor classes or scrapbooking with her mother. She attended the University of Georgia and received her BFA in Ceramics in order to learn the ways of coaxing clay. While at UGA, Hodge had her first solo exhibition, Unsung Muses, in addition to her BFA show, Eyes That Bind.
She graduated summa cum laude along with other honors, such as the Outstanding Undergraduate Award and Mary Rosenblatt Scholarship. After graduation she spent the summer as the Ceramics Instructor for URJ Camp Coleman, where she realized her potential as a teacher. She then pursued her MFA at the University of Miami, where she has received the MFA Summer Fellowship as well as the William Oberman Award. She will graduate summa cum laude after the conclusion of her thesis exhibition In Light of Her.
She continues to pursue teaching as the Camp Manager and Instructor for Clay Camp at the Ceramic League of Miami and as an adjunct faculty at the University of Miami. Though she naturally finds a place in teaching, it is her studio work that is the driving force of her existence.
