ABOUT AMY KUPFERBERG

I am a multidisciplinary artist exploring mark-making to create works on paper using traditional sculpture-making tools and methodology. Tantric repetitive movements make the gesture; each becomes a visual affirmation provoking a physical experience with the work. I am drawn to taking the discarded and revealing the unseen, the residue left behind.

I make my paper using materials I found in my life, such as my favorite jeans from the 1990s and discarded couches. I repurpose found objects for my materials and allow their shapes and textures to form the parameters of each piece, such as wood blocks.

My love for nature turned me into a sustainable artist. I am obsessed with her formal beauty and informed by her usefulness. I admire that everything is used to replicate and create through organic life cycles. I constantly play with replication, reiteration, and regeneration to create new forms and revitalize familiar ones.
