Art Pieces
Stories have power! They shape how we see the world and how we see ourselves. It’s important to ask: who is telling the story?
As I immersed myself in the myths and legends of women, I realized that most of our stories are told through a male lens.
To do this, I use materials often associated with “female arts” (sewing, flower arrangement, embroidery, scrapbooking, and more) combined with traditional fine arts media and techniques (paints, pastels, charcoals).
My mixed media pieces give the power of our stories back to women while celebrating the magic and wonder that surrounds us every day.
The Keepers
If you are interested in purchasing one of the pieces below, please contact us via amy@artpostropheamy.com
Sometimes we carry things with us that can weigh us down. No matter how they make us feel, these memories, secrets, and experiences can keep us from moving forward. The Keepers are there to take these off your heart and keep them safe for you indefinitely or until you decide you want them back.
The Weavers
The Weavers are observers and chroniclers. They sit in their spot and unbiasedly weave together the stories of the lives they watch. The tapestries they create tell the story of a specific place and of those who come and go over a long period of time.
The Seers
The Seers are able to see the possibilities of our future, but only the possibilities. Since our life stories are written by our choices, they are constantly changing, and many would prefer a road map to help lead them to their deepest desires. People seek out The Seers to hear what they want their future to be, but often don’t want to know the full truth of what may come. So, The Seers hide themselves and only appear to those who seek the truth with an open mind and a grateful heart.
Wishlings
When someone makes a wish on a star, throws a coin in a well in hopes of making a dream come true, or sends a heartfelt silent request for a secret longing, those dreams are gathered and protected by Wishlings. Wishlings are the guardians of wishes. They carry and protect them whether they come true or not, because each wish is a story and all stories should be protected.
