Amanda Lydert B. 1994 Denmark.
I am my own coach now.
I work across disciplines, primarily with installation, video, sculpture and text.
My practice is a way out of my mind, my work exhibits a way in. As of now: My practice works as a platform for attitude adjustment and research into proactive personal solutions. My work is about the troubled mind as the advantaged mind as the universal mind. My work most often begins with myself, but always tours into general phenomena and is best consumed as a fast paced banger that makes you drop rhinestones (tears or sweat). Leave it with a smiley sticker between your shoulder blades.
Regarding marks (professional self-reflection) About the deep and the heavy. When depth is not measured in volume but intensity, and heaviness not in weight but in distance. When it is all measured in time. As everything always is. I am more interested in stardom than in legacy. And so, I wonder:
What happens when you throw punches into the air? Can one leave a mark in the transparent sky? And if so, where is the echo stored when I kick underwater. Open ocean.
Wonder about: Explosive disappearing marks, heart-puncturing transparent gestures. In the sky, underwater. On stage.
About words, about ideas, about my body moving for pleasure. And about: What my marks measure in intensity and what they will measure in distance. About what I measure in clay and in power; what I prefer and; about how much you care.
I want to sign the sky. Before an ocean of dilated pupils shapeshifting to H20.
