Alyssa Warren is a London-based, process-led artist practicing across various media, including collage, photography, fiction, printmaking and bookmaking. She is particularly interested in the intersection between photography and printmaking, focusing on experimental analogue and alternative photographic processes., exploring how hand-printing techniques and materiality enhance the psychologically driven narratives she strives to tell. Identity, memory, interiority, and the role place plays in forming all three, are themes that run through all of her work.
Alyssa Warren studied English, completing a BA in Santa Barbara, California, and an MA in Sydney, Australia. She taught creative writing and modern British literature at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador, and later served as a contributing editor to Surface magazine, covering art, design and fashion. Her first novel, Not the Only Sky, a coming-of-age story about a photographer, was published by Black and White in 2017. Her collages and photography have appeared in Art Maze Mag, the Woolwich Contemporary Art Fair, the Royal Academy, London, and Fresh Eyes, an anthology of emerging photographers published by GUP Magazine.
