Two Artists Defying Convention
Artists Amanda Love and Anne Sherwood Pundyk share a desire to look beyond convention to expose human truths. Love addresses book suppression by dismantling books—pages, spines, and covers—to create sculptures and reliefs, highlighting her materials’ tactile surfaces. She challenges the belief that humanity can repress its history and future. Pundyk stains, crops, and then reconfigures raw canvas sections, stitching them together to make paintings that hang unstretched. Through her work, Pundyk enacts a freeing response to generational trauma. Pundyk says she likes to “track mud on the rug,” revealing hidden narratives in the layers of paint on her irregular surfaces. By making unexpected use of their materials, the artists’ works create the feeling of a newly acquired, sometimes uncomfortable reality.
Love is based in Granville, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois and Pundyk is based in Manhattan and Mattituck, New York. With mid-western roots and the courage to innovate a shared aesthetic kismet has brought them together.
