I carve stone into fluid, tactile forms that invite touch and interaction, and build paintings in layers that echo traces of the past. I am interested in the connections we make, the things we carry from others and the subtle ways moments of exchange and influence can shape us.

Make it stand out I keep in the most precious corner of my head this preoccupation, series of drawings using printed fragments with tracing paper and graphite. My works on paper span expressive drawing, mark-making, collage, graphite rubbings, monoprints, and collographs. Many begin with discarded fragments from my father’s long abandoned shed - materials which, for me, are imbued with touch and memory. I repurpose and reimagine discarded papers from the shed floor, take rubbings from slate pieces lettercut with favourite sayings, and create monoprints from the tiniest fragments of hair and materials. I work in series, with each exploring how lives are remembered through touch, material presence, and the things we pass between us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/1629638921506-7T1QMQ4FOWSBRWI7OKGQ/IMG_2704.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out Detail of Preoccupation series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/1629638929785-PFGA48ACIJ5POTLOT97B/IMG_2744.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out My ordinary, series of collages with drawn and printed fragments, tape and resin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/1629639035569-CVK62LLZXAPB7PNXKYWO/IMG_2757.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out My ordinary, series of collages with drawn and printed fragments, tape and resin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/1629639122139-7GBWSPCP26L73W2YP947/IMG_3676.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out My ordinary, series of collages with drawn and printed fragments, tape and resin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/1629639032690-N2X0GTSIIKSXXOD94LUT/IMG_2755.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out My ordinary, series of collages with drawn and printed fragments, tape and resin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/541ea1ce-d2ae-42a9-842c-676ea0a3ff55/Keepsakes+3.JPG Works on paper - Make it stand out Keepsakes, series of monoprints using hair and metal fragments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/e6e66f63-f2e8-4088-9d87-ee3ec27d1cf5/IMG_8013.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out Souvenir, series of collages with contact images and found papers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/1629639042367-0PFQUZJ6MR7CNZB6IDIN/IMG_2770.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out My ordinary, series of collages with drawn and printed fragments, tape and resin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/53d6c8da-67d5-407f-b6df-56bed371ce7b/IMG_6385.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out Keepsakes, series of monoprints using hair and metal fragments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/9f3f5a55-4821-47b8-be03-875d179f59c1/IMG_8019.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out Souvenir, series of collages with contact images and found papers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/1629638936719-T6881WXSND48XN1769BW/IMG_2746.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out My ordinary, series of collages with drawn and printed fragments, tape and resin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/4335ab9a-f815-42e8-896b-034e1402414b/Keepsakes+4+%282%29.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out Keepsakes, series of monoprints using hair and metal fragments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/7d705832-846e-406d-926f-e440f19d8fb9/IMG_8014+%281%29.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out Souvenir, series of collages with contact images and found papers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/1629639049420-NL1MGS0BH2WHRVGFZHSW/IMG_2772.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out My ordinary, series of collages with drawn and printed fragments, tape and resin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/e2c6aeb5-e219-4886-924b-ab5197dc19b1/Keepsakes+5+%282%29.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out Keepsakes, series of monoprints using hair and metal fragments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/5f2a175c-e5ca-477e-ad4e-329b058421f9/IMG_8012.jpg Works on paper - Make it stand out Souvenir, series of collages with contact images and found papers https://www.amandasumpter.co.uk/exhibitions daily 0.75 2026-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9755d083c3880060b29bd8/d8590f6e-8319-4766-a41c-0e49d456d5e9/IMG_6620+%281%29.jpeg Exhibitions 2025 Carrara Marble, work in progress, 2026
