Amanda has studied at the Royal College of Art and has also won artist residency opportunities and travelling scholarships to help develop her work. Amanda is also a qualified UK architect (ARB/RIBA) and university tutor.
Amanda’s work has included large-scale machines and musical instruments, aiming to allude to our sense of being part of a larger system and recognising this in animated objects. She is now focusing on sculptural drawing work which reworks flat images into constellations and network systems. Amanda is also currently working on public commissions including public spaces for beach front sites within Poole.
