New In-Progress Magic from Amanda Spayd for ‘Origins of the Forest’, 9.7

  • by

With Origins of the Forest just two weeks away, Amanda Louise Spayd’s studio is in full-swing production mode with little resin faces and plush bodies blanketing every conceivable surface. It also means a steady stream of WIP shots hitting Instagram, which always makes us tingle with antici … pation.

I’ll let the critters speak for themselves; Mandi’s WIP shots are nothing short of magical and for a show that seemingly crept up on all of us, it appears we are in for something very special.

Origins of the Forest opens Sept. 7th at myplasticheart with a reception with the artist from 6pm to 9pm. The exhibition is on view through Oct. 7th.

Wow, this snuck up real fast. Opening next month at myplasticheart is Amanda Louise Spayd’s second solo show of 2012, Origins of the Forest. Channeling the magic of last year’s blow out exhibition, Late Season, Origins is rooted in the rustic, woodland themes we’ve come to love and expect from Mandi. And just in time for the Fall!

“I feel most at home when I am in the woods,” Amanda writes from her studio in rural Ohio. “This show is sort of my homage to the forest – the textures, colors, legends, and animals that live there or are the representation of that place. Expect to see more furry creatures than I usually do, as well as a selection of sort of Bavarian folk art-inspired colors and designs. Summer is beginning to wind down, but the forests are still very vibrant and alive.”
