Alexandria Couch was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, and is a graduate of the Myers School of Art at the University of Akron (BFA 2020). Couch is a visual artist documenting figures in states of flux. Her work utilizes both traditional and found materials to facilitate states of dissonance between subjects and their surroundings. Her practice incorporates painting on fabric, which she often tears and re-quilts together. The resulting abstracted images mimic the reformation of marginal identities adapting to destabilized environments. Recently, her work has been shown regionally in the AXA Art Prize for 2019 and 2020 and in the Akron Art Museum, Summit Artspace, and FRONT International Exhibition.
