Amber Imrie<\/em>‘s art investigates the connection between humans and objects – the way we attribute significant memories and events onto materials. She find this objectification significant to our storytelling and memories, and affects the way we navigate through our environment.<\/p>\n

Throughout Imrie’s work she use or make objects to stand-in for these stories, people, and places. Often constructed off of memories, they become warped through time and by imperfection, taking on a sense of the poetics. Many of Imrie’s pieces are rooted in her personal narrative, whilst lending themselves to the wider audiences through our shared life experiences.<\/p>\n

Microscope Slide Series Statement:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“As a painter and multi-media sculptor I have felt the pressure to reduce my mediums. I felt the pressure to give up painting, despite enjoying the practice. In spring of 2013, I displayed the evidence of my painting instead of the thing itself. I documented eyewitness accounts, bagged paint-soiled rags in evidence bags, and collected slides of my paint . I took samples of the pigments I had used in my oil paintings and put them under the microscope, playing with the translation of micro\/macro and materials.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was particularly intrigued with the experience of looking through the microscope at the paint microscope slides. I decided to blow these up, painting in a sculptural medium by using embroidery and layered materials to replicate what I saw in the microscope.”<\/em><\/p>\n
