Piece description from the artist
I grew up in Portland, where there is Powell’s City of Books – it is a winding maze of colored rooms and miscellaneous spaces. Everywhere you look is another bookshelf for every topic of book imaginable. It is very easy to get turned around. In spite of that, it is cozy. You are enveloped by the colors and smell of books, and the contented background hum of people stumbling upon exactly what they were looking for. Books are tactile, and each one has its own character. In a bookstore, all of your senses feel the excitement of endless opportunities.
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.
