BIOGRAPHY

ALEXANDER EDWARDS creates contemporary reliquaries from discarded materials, investigating what remains of memory, spirit, and human experience after they have been translated into objects. His practice considers what survives after a life, a memory, or a soul becomes material, and what persists once an object has exhausted its original purpose.

Working across sculpture and installation, Edwards transforms discarded technological and organic materials into contemporary relics that carry traces of memory, labor, use, and transformation beyond their intended lifespan. Through processes of accumulation, preservation, and recontextualization, he examines how value, meaning, and presence continue to endure within abandoned matter.

Edwards has exhibited at Berry Campbell Gallery, Kate Werble Gallery, and The Bishop Gallery, and has received support from Hangar Centro de Investigação in Lisbon. He attended Pratt Institute and is based between Miami and Brooklyn.
