Statement
I am interested in culture and communication – how individuals form bonds over shared experience and knowledge. Through my work I present my own knowledge, primarily recalled from memory, and invite the viewer to “compare notes.” I strive to stick to the facts, or at least what I perceive to be factual, leaving the viewer to sort through the data for themselves. The resulting images and objects often function as graphs or diagrams – visualizing the quantification and categorization of information that comprises a personality.
Bio
Amanda Tiller was born in Bristol, Tennessee in 1981. She received her Honors BA in Studio Art from Wake Forest University in 2003, and her MFA from the University of Massachusetts – Amherst in 2007. Through her labor-intensive projects, Tiller investigates our relationship to knowledge and memory in our current “information age” often using her own memory and experience as a case study. Her work spans various media including drawing, printmaking, sculpture, embroidery, and video. She has exhibited in New York, Japan, and across the United States, and was invited to be a resident at the Wassaic Project in 2011. Tiller currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY where she would be happy to be on your team in a game of Trivial Pursuit.
In the summer of 2016 I participated in a NYC Creative Salon on the topic of Play. I really enjoyed being a part of this lively and thoughtful conversation. This discussion was moderated by Kimo Nelson and recorded and edited by Pia Coronel.
