'Coeus', one of a series of heads, was made by re-cycling the offcuts from 'Looking Forwards to The Past', a 16m long work that was all consuming and exhausting for Alice. Stitching together the offcuts in this way could be seen to represent a process of repair and recovery, symbolising the necessity and ability to forge ahead, no matter what life throws at you. In essence they are symbols of strength and optimism, at the same time conveying the vulnerability, and injured aspects of our lives.
