Winch Gallery: Consciousness

This gallery explores the dynamic relationships between experience and physical space, connecting materials and processes to exemplify subject and its ongoing change.
Paintings that explore colour, light and natural forms in combination with directional lines, inspired by the shapes of shadows between buildings, straight lines in contact with natural elements.

Dovecote Studio: Subconsciousness

This space focus’s the intersection between the experience of being what we are drawn to and the non-literal interpretation of place. Mark making and colour taking on a more immediate role to inspire thought and recognise differences, beliefs and structures. The work describes “through spaces” rather than solid form, like fogs, mists, reflections, glints of imagery, memory.

Gallery 21: Reflections

This room brings types of memory, visualised differently, mirroring. “Dog eat Dog” … both surreal and realistic simultaneously. Based on reading, cartoon anarchy and oblique irony. Bold colour can be a diversion not just decorative. It’s intended to be a lively rumination of reflections from a perspective that comes from universal and everyday challenges. How to address problems.

Born in London, Amanda grew up surrounded by the ever-changing cityscape – a landscape of shapes, patterns and textures that continue to inspire her work. Her early exposure to movements like De Stijl and Abstract Expressionism, combined with formative training at Putney Art School under Eric Larmont, sparked a lifelong love of painterly and mark-making

A BA in Fine Art at Nottingham Polytechnic, and an MA in print at the Slade School of Fine Art cemented Amanda’s technical skills, while a fellowship in Architectural Glass at Central St Martins deepened her interest in structure and design. These influences came together in her dynamic works, which pivot architectural precision with the incidental? Freedom of mark making.

Since moving to Suffolk in 2006, Amanda has focused on her fine art practice, developing a distinctive style that speaks to both urban environments and the natural world.
