Alexander is a material and process driven artist, giving equal attention to both conceptual and studio practice. These values generally manifest in the creation of substantial material objects and/or place-making through installation or intervention. He is particularly interested in the physical properties of his materials and the juxtaposition of these qualities against both metaphysical and formal negative space. Through this preoccupation, an exploration of existential and ontological concerns has become a recurring motif in his practice. He is a technically trained metalsmith, and has worked as a journeyman blacksmith in Austria, Spain, Estonia, and Italy. He holds a Master of Arts degree from the Estonian Academy of Art in Tallinn, and currently resides in the Big Bend region of Far West Texas, USA.
