Overview
Amelia is co-founder the Illustration Research Network. Amelia authored the first international symposium ‘Shadow Play – Alchemy Redolence & Enchantment’ in Cardiff in 2010 and co-authored ‘The Function of Folk’ – Narrative & Society in Krakow in 2012 and presented a paper at the most recent Symposium titled ‘Sentient & Severed’ in 2021.
Amelia is part of the Metatech Research Group.
Amelia’s work is colourful, sometimes frightening, bold and immediate; she describes her process as going into ‘a sort of trance of making’ only to be flung out by some worldly interruption from her imaginative dreamscape.
Serious and sensical are her approaches to practice and teaching, realising the implications of the impact of the illustrated image in the world far beyond its immediate making. The illustrated image lives with us in society, grows with us as we grow. Quietly almost invisibly the image lives and breathes.
Amelia hope to enable students to feel a creative confidence within their work, acknowledging the impact of their work in the world, and the importance of imagination space for the participant viewer to join in allowing agency and responsibility.
