Piece description from the artist
This artwork is of a scene on a path near my home that I walk on often. The park is surrounded by freeways and big box stores, but being among the plants and shrubs immediately removes you from that noise. There is a certain calmness when walking under arching tree branches that create a sheltered canopy over a path. It is serene, and much of the busy-ness of life can fade into the background. By taking away the saturation of the green leaves and bushes, this piece is able to focus on the quiet.
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.
