ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Amada’s recent work explores weather, textiles and nature through a formal framework of colour, line, pattern and mark-making. In her work the process of production, the layering of form and shape, the covering and uncovering of areas and the record of time passing are evident. Amada explores spatial relationship through formal compositional choices while retaining elements of spontaneity and unexpected connection.
