See Alice Gibney's artist profile in the German magazine, 4SEE. The artist is photographed in front of a large-scale pastel on paper work that will be used in her stop-motion films.
See below for excerpts of the interview:
"At 8 years old I wanted to be a veterinarian, but that was a short-lived dream. As soon as I realized I would have to actually operate on animals and put them down, I did a quick re-evaluation of my life plans. Blood grossed me out. Then a couple years later I went to summer camp at the Toronto School of Art and so began the love affair."
"I think the art world is what you make of it. It can be all of the above: competitive and cutthroat or supportive and community-minded… just depends on how you approach it and with whom you surround yourself."
"Failure. Daydreaming. Absurdist literature and odd films. The general messiness of life. Leaving room for mistakes within my work allows for the narrative to take unexpected turns. That is where the real interest for me lies.”
