Amy’s work has always been inspired by the natural world and she enjoys exploring new ways in which to display her work and collections. She is interested in art within a domestic setting and why people choose to fill their homes with memorabilia, collections, and souvenirs. Her cabinet and sculptural pieces in particular aim to reconnect people with place, with the past and with nature, which they may have lost sight of in a time of rapid change and disposability. For the last two years she has been exploring the banks of the Thames, studying and collecting bones found on the foreshore. As part of her on-going practice she is examining the psychology of collecting, why we collect and if was in fact the first form of art; whether it is an essential and intrinsic part of the human experience in that it allows the individual to express their identity through the selection and presentation of objects. By combining manmade and natural found objects into her work, she hopes to re-connect humanity with itself.
