  Back to profiles

I’m a sculptor, silversmith and environmental artist with a wealth of experience of working in the public realm. Please visit my website: amandarandalldesign.co.uk

My environmental artworks engage the head, the hand and the heart of the viewer, with new viewpoints, interactive structures, vibrant colour schemes, shapes, patterns and textures echoing the surrounding environment.

When working in the public realm my ambition is protect ecosystems and promote positive relationships between humans and our environment through the medium of art and design. I’m driven to make powerful, beautiful objects and places which enrich people’s lives. I’m keen to use my experience to improve the ecology of social spaces, and to help people to access the therapeutic benefits of art and nature.

My sculptures, vessels and paintings use stone, silver, copper, steel, paper, wood and found objects, often combined together. I am a passionate advocate for the therapeutic power of touch and making. My work is intended to be felt and explored.

When undertaking commissions, private or public, I see the outcome as a collaboration between myself and my client.
