Amanda's Awesome Artwork

My goal as an artist is to create pieces I am proud of. My creations are based off of things I enjoy. I like things to look the way they were intended to; I try to put as much detail as possible into the pieces I design.

I chose my designs based on my mood and things that have stuck in my minds eye that day. I often change the design throughout it's making. I choose the technique based on size, shape, and function, though this is often changed as well. For example I originally planned to use slab building for Content Project but switched to coil building when the piece did not form the way it was planned.

I have grown as an artist in the past few years. Five years ago I had never used clay and knew next to nothing about it. Doing these projects expanded my capabilities as an artist beyond paper and pencil and I am grateful for the experience.
