Stalking Self
_Stalking Self_ is part of an ongoing series of collaged animated narratives using image and sound sourced from popular media. _Stalking Self_ explores the myth of individuation, ascension, the relationship between predator and prey, and the erasure of personal history. The moment to moment (re)construction of the separate self, its illusion, is painstakingly held up to the point of exhaustion/crisis. The matrices of neurosis are used to build a platform for the deconstruction of identity.

Alexis is a multidisciplinary artist from the Pacific Northwest. In 2014 he received a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design and in 2017 completed an MFA from the University of Waterloo. In 2016 Alexis traveled to England to work with Iain Ball as a recipient of the Keith and Win Shantz Fellowship. Alexis' work revolves around boundaries, barriers, and thresholds. He is invested in the relationship between internal and external geography, the balance of terror and awe, and with mapping the transition from one state of consciousness into another. Alexis has held a plethora of jobs; from innkeeper to nightwatchmen, from shepherd to security guard, from grocer to gardener.
