​

Amanda’s paintings come from a quiet but constant preoccupation with what is lost as memories fade. 

​

The notion of what is real and what is imagined as we return again and again to half remembered histories informs her practice as a painter and as a carver. The found materials and objects that she uses as she works have a certainty – they can be relied on. Each piece of slate, lead and rusted metal has a physical connection to a real person, time and place now lost. They are tactile aide memoirs. Each new painting is created taking the dimensions and scale from these objects as a starting point for the shapes used and the marks made as the layers build and are over-painted hinting at what might lie beneath each deceptively simple piece.
