Sarah Amos, a master printmaker, is originally from Australia. Her new work is a series of large-scale paper tapestries incorporating gouache, pencil, watercolor and charcoal in tandem with richly layered printmaking processes. Her visual vocabulary demonstrates a consistent allegiance to her heritage and cultural awareness; in the newest body of work the marks have become more complex, and the spatial sense shifts dramatically. The works reference her native landscape, while interjecting personal observations of man’s impact and influence on the land.
Amos immigrated to the United States in the early 1990s and began working with Vermont Studio Center where she was the master printer. She has been a faculty member at Dartmouth, RISD, Bennington and Williams College. In 2005, she was invited as a teaching Fellow and artist in residence to Venice, Italy. The DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park recently included eight of her large scale murals for their 2007 Annual exhibition. Her work appears in numerous private and corporate collections including The DeCordova Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts; The Katonah Museum, Katonah, New York; Time Warner, New York, New York; and The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Hanover, New Hampshire, among many others.
