STATEMENT OF WORK
Amah is color focused artist who utilizes geometric shapes to create a dialogue on how we perceive and see what is around us. Often playing with size, space, and color, she wants to express emotion and narrate abstract stories from multiple viewpoints to push how we interact with our subconscious and conscious. Through the inspiration of her homeland Africa, she uses shapes in a brutalist way to convey the power of imagery and the complexity of abstract stories. Her eclectic upbringing of a transmigration periphery evokes a dualistic integration of futurism and brutalism. Her aim is to evoke an emotional and intellectual response in viewers in a dynamic power through recollection, imagery, and universality.Amah combines the coexistence of two worlds in the representation of duality to which she feels she belongs to, by navigating the powerful mythos of African stories and the metaphorical communication and complexity of the American society she engages in. Through her visual art she shows the power of color and multiplies overlapping lines, tribal forms, and geometrical shapes. Amah’s aesthetic balances the chaos of language between the literal and metaphorical .
