Alexis Hunter's work has evolved considerably over the years and different media has been used to pursue ideas on society and the role of women.

The artist has been invited to have solo shows annually since the photographic Sequences were exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art, London. In 1989 the Auckland City Gallery mounted the artist's Retrospective Fears/Dreams/Desires and her work has figured in many significant group exhibitions at the Hayward Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery, and others not in London. Since 2006 her narrative photographic sequences have been introduced to a new generation of feminists and have been shown in the Norwich Gallery, WACK! Art and the Feminist revolution in the United States and in the Cologne Art Fair in Germany. She is represented by Whitespace in New Zealand and Karma International in Europe.
