“I chose to start embroidering cows on butter wrappers after seeing other fiber artists working with other reclaimed materials, like soft plastics or paper bags. Butter wrappers have highly recognizable, classic designs, and I thought they would be a perfect surface to experiment on. Cows were my obvious choice for subject matter, and not something I ever feature in other series of work.” - Dillon

Alice Dillon is a fiber artist from Worcester, Massachusetts. She has been interested in the arts and sewing since childhood, but began actively identifying as an artist in college after teaching herself how to embroider. Alice’s work focuses on combining linear imagery and repetition in an effort to bring androgyny to a classically feminine medium. Recent bodies of work have focused on portraiture, language used during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the importance of hands in lesbian imagery and culture.
Alice is a graduate of Clark University, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in art history and history and a Master’s degree in history studying women in the HIV/AIDS activist art movement. In addition to maintaining her artistic career, Alice is the Associate Director of ArtsWorcester.
