Amy Earles has spent a lifetime observing and contextualizing. Making art to record & communicate.
Textural Environments. The inhabitation of textiles - curtains, coats and bedclothes. Grass, dirt, hair and fur. Projection of dreamed realities or starkness through a kaleidoscope lens. The earth in its most tranquil form. Quiet. Where the mind wanders...
coping mechanisms.
Purpose comes by way of compulsion.
To create alternate routes from history, from things uncontrollable. To assert will and presence by persistence. A stamp in the book, indelible.
