Piece description from the artist
This image is part of my Sky Fields Series. With this body of work, I present interactions between colors using my own de-constructed photographs. Manipulating my photographs is both calming and stimulating. It gives me a sense of control when my life feels slightly otherwise, and it also inspires a curious and playful spirit through experimentation with the photographs. The title of the series comes from the original subject of all of the photographs – the sky. It also speaks to the work of Color Field painters from the 1960s, a source of great inspiration for my work. For my viewers, I want to present the traditional landscape photograph in a fresh way, by inviting meditation on the colors of the sky. On a deeper level, I hope to bring about a heightened sensitivity to color as an artistic pathway to a higher state of humanity. I wonder…if humans can become more sensitive to individual colors, maybe humanity can become more sensitive to one another.
Born in Nashville, TN in 1979, Amanda Lomax is a lens-based artist living and working in Nashville, TN. Ms. Lomax holds a cum laude degree in Communications from Boston University, completing coursework in darkroom and digital photography. She was selected as a Teaching Assistant at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops and Maine Media College, and spent several summers learning from renowned photographers Cig Harvey, Joyce Tenneson, Aline Simpson and Susan Burnstine. She is a recipient of the 2020 TriStar Arts Award and a graduate of the Periscope Arts Program.
Her work uses digital photography and technology to manifest abstract ideas into tangible pieces of art. She refers to this process as 'Photographic Techspressionism’. This process allows her to play with the boundaries between photography and digital art, drawing inspiration from organic landscapes and her own emotional responses. She is deeply influenced by the work of Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Josef Albers. Color is fundamental as she relies on it to produce a heightened emotional and visual experience for the viewer.
