Alicia Stepp-Woody is a 33 year old photographer who was born, raised, and still calls North Texas home. Moved by the surreal and the extraordinary, she was drawn to the magical ability to capture frozen moments in time from an early age. Alicia naturally gravitated to the art of photography due to her compositional eye and long-standing penchant for the use of color and light. While she is available for a myriad of commissions, her heart lies in the ability to evoke powerful emotion through fashion editorials and the magic of crafting new, fantastical worlds through the use of abstract and avant-garde concepts.
“While She Sleeps” is an introspective series on the emotional and psychological landscape of sleep. “As a child, and even into my adult years I have been moved and intrigued by sleep. In my life, I have found comfort in the last few waking minutes of pre-slumber consciousness, knowing that somewhere, while I’m sleeping, the world is still breathing, moving, living.” This knowledge acts as a metaphorical security blanket. The intent of this series is for the consideration of the juxtaposition of the subconscious and the need or desire to retain a continued connection with our waking existence while we are away in sleep.
The Magnolia Gallery is proud to spotlight local talent in Dallas.
