"Borrowing imagery from ancient artefacts, faces and symbols emerge in Amy’s paintings
made from hazy layers of paint. Strong stone sculptures are painted with a softness, her
paintings appearing unattached from their origins, free-floating and deceptive. While the
works are reminiscent of the past, their saturated colours have a contemporary feel and play on ideas of beauty, masculinity, representation and humour.
Recent paintings use antique jewellery as a starting point and use both deliberate and
unpredictable watery layers of paint, allowing forms to emerge from a painterly blur.
Interested in the evolution of taste as these art objects circulate throughout history; from
artefact, to staged photograph, to painting, the works serve as a record of the constant
metamorphoses in cultural value."
