Research and Development
Application
My practice has grown from years of working on commissions from galleries, museums and historic houses - now reimagined in the public realm through giant puppets and lanterns. I am wanting to combine elements of the two areas of my work shown and develop my skills creating participatory artwork for outdoor settings.
If have a record of delivering ambitious projects providing participatory workshops as part of the project.
‘The feedback we had from the exhibition was some of the most positive we have had in recent years, with many visitors describing Amy’s work as a moving experience.’ Naomi Gariff, Programme Curator, Lakeland Arts.
I have been developing my skills in creating puppets for parades. These were made independently from the community. Due to my lack of expertise I had issues with weather resistant materials, the operation of the moving mechanisms and weight and movability of the puppets. I hope to learn from Andrew Kim to advance my skills to create better functioning pieces to also involve the community in the designing and making.
