Alix Ashworth

(Kāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe, Waitaha)

Alix Ashworth is a neurodivergent, indigenous, multimedia artist and mother of two who is currently moonlighting as a writer.

Part of their creative joy comes from using their hands to celebrate indigenous knowledge and conversations around decolonisation.

While their main arts practice is Uku - Māori ceramic sculpture and installation, they also create Whakakai - Adornment as well as fiber sculptures playing with the tension between hard and soft surfaces.

Alix recommends: Otherland - Tad Williams; Dalwurra - Colin Johnson; Reservation Dogs - TV series; and Drunken Master - Jackie Chan Movie.
