Piece description from the artist
My husband proposed to me in the Japanese garden in Portland, OR. I wanted to create an homage to that day. I was inspired by the signature tree in there, and created this piece composed of a countless number of dots representing the countless moments of our two years together that had built to that moment.
This was made using colored pencils to create the dots. The most time-consuming part of this was not making the dots, but keeping the pencils sharp!
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.
