Amy Bennett
Posted by Fabio 2 December 2009
Amy Bennett constructs a large diorama in her studio, and within this landscape, she creates several scenes. Placing it before her as if painting a still life, she produces her paintings. Reminding one of a folktale, the paintings’ charm is full of beautiful light and an air of mystery.
