Piece description from the artist
One of the scariest things I've tried is scuba diving. I did it once. While I'm glad I experienced it – never again. But even in the paralyzing fear, I could see the beautiful stillness under the surface of the water and I looked to capture that.
This piece was made with two different size hole punches of many colors of card stock paper. These dots were glued one-by-one to build the water, coral, and rock structures.
Amanda Pearson is a mixed media artist who lives in the Twin Cities, MN (but grew up in Portland, OR). In college, she majored in Art Education and after graduating found a niche in elevating the mundane materials that are often forgotten in the back of the craft drawer. Her focus is currently on pieces created by gluing embroidery floss, but she also uses other media such as dots (made out of colored pencils or paint), glued hole punches from cardstock paper, and has even made a mosaic from recycled used gift cards. Her work requires time, and it takes a lot of it – each piece takes months to create. These pieces aim to capture a moment of time in spaces that could be considered sacred. Nature is used to represent these significant moments.
