From Glass Mountains to Beginnings

Amanda Humphries’ paintings tell stories.  Some of her pieces dance; others whisper that there are secret worlds hidden in safe circular spaces.  

Full of mystery and beauty, Amanda’s recently released Glass Mountain series, along with her series of Light Movement Study pieces are a reflection of the artist’s experience of sensory engagement with dancers.  Each of the works captures something of the colour and movement of bodies in action, and was inspired by Remnant Dancers rehearsing in studio spaces, as well as performing on the stage.

Amanda’s newest limited edition series, Beginnings, offer a glimpse into another world through tiny circular windows, full of light.  Inspired by her time at the Nagar Glass Factory in Yangon, Myanmar (Burma), these translucent paintings invite you into a place where glass is a metaphor for connectivity, and where the echo of children’s laughter curves in Burmese script on fragile glass vessels.
