Ali Della Bitta is an artist inspired by shifting landscape ecosystems and the growing human impact on natural spaces. Her work serves as a meditation on impermanence—exploring the intimate often fragile elements of both clay and nature. Using diverse materials, including ceramics and recycled elements, Della Bitta builds a world at the intersection of art, environmental consciousness, and ecology, prompting reflection on sustainability, conservation and stewardship. Through her sculpture, she invites viewers to engage with the delicate systems of the natural world and consider how art can shape our relationship with the planet.
During a series of residencies at Art-St-Urban in Switzerland (2009-2018) Della Bitta’s work diverged as she explored the Alps. Lichen, alpine plants, and landforms became a focus of her research. This examination led to her study of endangered plants in the Adirondack High Peaks region in Northern New York State. Della Bitta’s focus on ecological sensitivity inspired multiple excursions to National Parks and exploration of public lands across the United States. During her most recent residency in the northwestern region of Iceland, the continued themes of ecology, sustainability, and material reuse inform her practice.
