Packing Materials is a book by Alyson Fox, bringing together twelve years of assemblages, photographs, and notes gathered from daily life. Working across mediums, Fox treats making as both documentation and discovery—an ongoing way of noticing change through the materials at hand.

Part journal, part visual map, Packing Materials unfolds as an intimate record of time passing. Images and texts move in a language of repetition and return, tracing a practice grounded in reflection, memory, and the quiet act of arranging. Ordinary objects—collected, discarded, or remade—become signposts, marking shifts in thinking, feeling, and living.

Alyson Fox’s work blurs the boundaries between art, design, craft and object. Moving across media—drawing, photography, weaving, printing, collecting, interviewing and recording—she explores the human dimensions of stories, collections, memories and materials that carry the marks of lived time.
