Amelia Key

About the Artist

Inspired by the plethora of plastic objects available at a whim, Key purchases, collects, and finds materials wherever she goes. Through this process of collecting, Key imbues typically disposable objects with a sense of preciousness. These items are chosen for their bright colors, plasticity, shape, and texture, which she then alters and re-purposes to create new forms. Familiar objects become three-dimensional methods of mark-making in space. Through color exploration and repetition, these objects transcend their purpose, ultimately turning the mundane into the magical.
