Amy Bennett
Posted by Fabio 10 October 2013
Amy Bennett works with common themes such as transition, aging, isolation, and loss, she is interested in the fragility of relationships and people’s awkwardness in trying to coexist and relate to one another. To that end she creates miniature 3D models to serve as evolving still lifes from which she paint detailed narrative paintings.
Using cardboard, foam, wood, paint, glue, and model railroad miniatures, I construct various fictional, scale models. Recent models have included a neighborhood, lake, theater, doctor’s office, church, and numerous domestic interiors. The models become a stage on which I develop narratives. They offer me complete control over lighting, composition, and vantage point to achieve a certain dramatic effect._Amy Bennett
