Amanda Elliott Fine Artist – Sculptural Installation
My work deals with the often anxious, tentative and fragile side of humanity. As an artist I am fascinated by the affect that ‘others’ and the world has upon our sense of ‘self’, how we respond to, what we feel is normal and how we respond to what we feel is lacking within ourselves. It is those threats of vulnerable exposure that create the sense of anxiety within us. My work considered this often-demonic state of anxiety; the sculptural forms reveal an honesty regarding such emotion by responding to the ‘symptom’atic and rhythmic undertones within the body in which anxiety creates.
Essentially my work explores the undertones of our innate response to the world rather than the language we attach to it, in order to create and understand its meaning. I see my art practice as a visceral contextualisation of an inner truth, therefore exposing and in my view our more inherent perspective of life.
