Artist Statement:
I deal with connections between the abstract and the real in my work. I use these connections to create rational systems by which to alter objects, space, and time. These alterations allow me to materialize abstract concepts in physical space and realize concisely the latent potential of my media.
The Rules:
1. observation prior to action
2. construction through deconstruction
3. repetition leads to change
4. always clean up
Amanda Buonocore received her Masters of Fine Arts from Cranbrook Academy of Art, located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and her Bachelors of Fine Arts from Long Island University: C.W. Post. Through her work, she explores the potential of raw materials in a process of deconstruction and reconstruction, focusing on the differing results of repetitious actions. She has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, The Governor’s Island Art Fair, The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, among other places. Her work is currently on display at Daimler Financial Services in Farmington Hills, Michigan, as part of a small chosen group of long-term loans. In 2008, she was awarded the printmaking award of excellence from Long Island University for experimental and extensive detailed print work.
