Amy Faris uses drawing to explore and project sensory memories from her childhood. Intense experimentation with a variety of materials is the foundation of her practice. Through materiality, she creates visual metaphors for experiences of the body – violence, humor, awkwardness, pain.
Her work has been exhibited at the AUTOMAT Collective, Philadelphia; The Center for Contemporary Art in Bedminster, NJ; Bortolami Gallery, NYC; The Ely Contemporary Art Center, New Haven, CT; Site Brooklyn, NY; the 2018 Outsider Art Fair, NYC; and Andrew Edlin Gallery, NYC.
