'My Happy Place - Spring' Sculpture

Amanda’s work is influenced by iconic contemporary art movements drawing inspiration from the simplicity of Bauhaus Modernism to the complexity of nonrepresentational Abstract Expressionism. She focuses on the expressive power of colour, intricate detail and pattern to achieve composition and chromatic harmony. These principles together with a fascination with the versatility of glass inspire her to create art in an abstract, geometric and linear style often combining and layering transparent, opalescent and dichroic glass to add texture and dimension. She is driven by the alchemy of transforming sheet glass by the application and control of heat into a unique contemporary artefact. ​Amanda’s work has depth and a tactile quality which seems to invite the viewer to touch the surface of the glass. She continuously experiments with new methods and skills with the philosophy that she is on as an ever-changing learning journey through the majestic medium of glass.
