Amy J. Dyck: Portals to Elsewhere
August 25 – October 1 Amy J. Dyck’s body of work, Portals to Elsewhere, reflects the artist’s lived experience with disability and difficulty. She creates small mixed media collages using photographs, papers, magazines, paints, and other media until a complex and embodied presence emerges. These small works are usually finished pieces, and are often used for inspiration of larger works – whether paintings, drawings, or sculptures. Using symbols of human, animal and insect bodies, monsters and ghosts, mechanical and abstracted forms, the artist suggests a complex psychological landscape in each figure. These visual metaphors evoke ideas such as primal instinct, imagination, haunting memories, self-protection, dignity, and resistance. In these creations, Dyck explores an allegory of what resilience might look like in the face of difficult, sometimes life-altering, circumstances. illustration: Amy Dyck: Wing Head, mixed media |
