Amanda's profile

I am a conceptual and interactive artist who moves through the world slowly and with awareness. I am grounded by movement and mindfulness practices which allow me to pay closer attention to the world around me. Inevitably this slowness leads to inquiries which sometimes culminate in projects. The inquiry could be anything as micro as a weed growing in a crack or an unhealthy obsession with a crooked tooth that I have, to something as macro as extractive economies that destroy the earth. Ultimately, I find alternative ways of connecting with a subject and with others through these studies; I rigorously interrogate and connect deeply with the world around me and within me. My work invites reflection and a slow pace, one which allows space to consider the relationships between all things, great and small, in the universe.

I grew up in southern Appalachia, graduated with my BA in Studio Art from Hollins University in 2011 and received my MFA from MICA in 2015, graduating from the Mount Royal School of Interdisciplinary Art. Currently living in Baltimore, I have shown work locally, and regionally from Vis Arts in Rockville, Maryland to Petzel Gallery in NYC.
