Amelia Frances Wood

Amelia Frances Wood explores creating ‘in-between’ spaces that serve as a portal to ‘other worlds’ unlike the ones we can see and touch. These worlds aim to reflect upon the material traces we each leave behind, that both reveal and conceal personal histories, through story-telling, memory, dreams and unearthed momentos. The artist chooses to work with materials that hold a weighted memory such as clay, wood, fabric, earthly material and found objects to create anthropomorphic sculptures. These sculptures reference the body, earth, ritual, and symbolic objects. Centering ideas around the body as a vessel, delving into the holistic interplay between the external form and the internal spaces. Limbs become integral to functional sculptures, offering a unique perspective on the labour of our bodies.
