Alicia eggert

Alicia Eggert’s sculptures, inspired by physics and philosophy, give material form to language and time across a variety of mediums. Her early work often paired found objects with systems of marking time or performances of physical and mental endurance. Alicia's current text-based neon work increasingly focuses on political activism and social justice. These sign sculptures draw text from a variety of sources, from Plato to Immanuel Kant to Stewart Brand. Her activist work is particularly influenced by artist Tania Bruguera’s Artforum essay from 2019, “Notes on Political Timing Specificity.” Alicia is an Associate Professor of Studio Art at the University of North Texas.
