All Idols Fall 

Amy’s work is a tribute to craft and the long human tradition of making. She is interested in exploring the cultural lines between functional items and decoration while revisiting these themes in the context of contemporary art. Found objects, second-hand fabrics, celebratory ephemera, repetition and the amassing of materials and mark-making are her primary vehicles for expression. Referencing the visual vocabulary within her 3D works have acted as a way to inform and ground the abstract compositions of her 2D work. Amy’s primary goal is to evoke imagery of rituals, tradition and ceremony while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic.

Amy Boone-McCreesh received her B.F.A. from the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design in 2007 and her MFA in Painting from Towson University in 2010. She has had exhibitions across the Mid-Atlantic in Baltimore, Wilmington DE, Fairfax VA, Lancaster PA, and Brooklyn, NY.
