Amanda Hughen-Abundant of Consequence

In her statement she said that she used abstracted forms biology, geology, and astronomy and physics to make the shapes in her work. Each one of the works could be viewed as critical mass, cell growth, explosion, and or land scape depending on how you view it. The work of hers that I looked at was called Abundant Consequence. In it, I saw mountains or layers of ice sitting on a metal structure made of to my eyes looked like huge safety pins. The metal pins seemed to be getting crushed by all the weight on top of it. The blue color of the forms are what made them seem like glaciers. The greenish intersecting elongated ovols shape made them look like safety pins. And the tan egg shapes looked like clouds.
