Amy Simons

"*Vault Shapes*"
Artist:* Amy Simons* [ https://www.amysimons.com/ ]
Exhibition Dates:* On view through October 13, 2024
*

The City of Auburn is excited to present the work of Amy Simons in our newest site-specific art space, The Vault Gallery. Amy Simons is an artist based in Bellingham, Washington. 

Exhibition Statement: "These are woodcut collages. Woodcut prints because from each whole comes many parts, and collages because those parts together become another whole. They are shape shifters like us, navigating roles as both individuals and parts of collectives. Each print comes from the same block, but emerges with a unique impression, every color a mark from the moment of contact and a preservation of touch. The blocks are changed with each print too, recording, accumulating and transforming. I am interested in how we organize ourselves, what patterns we generate intentionally, subconsciously, by luck or mistake. My studio practice is one of trusting and practicing emergence: working in simple, direct interactions that unfold into complex entanglements. I look at how bodies in proximity become shapes drawn together, repel one another, or hold tension in the space between. How do bodies become ecologies of mixed beings –assemblages of minerals, microbiomes and humanness, further mixed with memories of our past selves and promises of future ones?"
