Check out our latest interview featuring Amanda Houchen (@houchen_amanda)
Amanda's work looks at the relationship between illusionism and abstraction. Amanda plays with the spatial properties of the painting through formal decisions of division, colour and light. She is interested in achieving optical illusion through the placement of flat geometric architectural shapes, fused with more organic forms and structures: underwater plants, internal cell like structures, costume, fabrics, decorative patterns, the tropical and exotic.
'Creating an imaginary space is crucial to my work and my process of working plays into it. I build a series of layers, or screens, each one in dialogue with the next, concealing and then revealing what's underneath. The process is playful and exploratory, and there is a sense of depth contrasting with the flat surface quality.'
