In our ever-automated world, human touch is on the endangered list. Houston-based artist Amanda Paige works within the ancient lineage of metal fabrication and with experimental casting techniques to imbue each piece with character and emotional narrative. Drawing inspiration from the omniscient lens of nature’s footprints and a kaleidoscope of personal experience, each piece is designed to initiate a response or start a conversation. Amanda’s work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally
My work revolves around themes of emotion, depth, flow, resilience and control. I enjoy making pieces that tell a story and provoke interaction. Some of my favorite work involves setting up a process in which the outcomes can’t be strictly controlled. The element of surprise, challenge, and sense of co-creating with liminal states is endlessly thrilling.
