Piece description from the artist
Every season will turn til the world is upside down
Rivers overflow then go underground
But in the eye of the storm, in the safety of this house
We lay hand in hand while the world turns wrong.
So keep us and keep us, keep us from the storm.
There's a lesson in the rain that change will always come
Let us ride this wave and then greet the sun
- “Keep Us” by Peter Bradley Adams
This artwork was made with 68 different fabrics that were cut into individual shapes and layered with glue.
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.
