Amy Adams

Amy Adams received a BFA from Auburn University and an MFA from the University of Colorado at

Boulder. She has been the recipient of several artists grants and awards. Since an early age, Amy has

been intrigued with how inanimate objects function and fit together. Profoundly influenced by the

ritualistic voodoo tradition of “helper dolls,” she creates powerfully daunting and deeply intriguing

female figures which seem to posses and cryptically convey the enigmatic story of their own creation

and existence. Amy’s figures are assemblages of various and disparate found objects of and

abandoned or discarded materials including old textiles, rusty bailing wire, bones, weathered

sticks, enameled tin, glass or metal beads, and plastic flowers.
