Notes

‘In her drawings, Amanze invites viewers into her ongoing construction of an expansive and timeless alternate world inhabited by a cohort of beings who move through it freely. These beings exist rather than perform, embracing the mundane, the non-specific and the fluid as ultimate freedoms … Amanze’s interest in magic, play, architecture and design folds together in a way of working that relies on calculation and spontaneity. With a commitment to working with paper and drawing as her medium, Amanze transforms the two-dimensional static of paper into a limitless plane of possibility filled with depth, intersection, collision and overlap … Each drawing is a sliver of a whole; an out-of-sequence piece to a narrative with no beginning or seeming end.’¹
