"Encyclopedia" is the third and largest in a series of mixed media collages, all made from tiny pieces of found imagery amassed over many years. Vintage encyclopedias, map covers and reference books. Each tiny paper image was carefully selected for its unique color, texture, and subject. The imagery has a nostalgic mood to it with a colour palette reminiscent of the mid-century period in print.

The artist's meticulous process involves bonding the hand-cut paper onto wood, which is then laser cut into graphic dots. These individual pieces are meticulously arranged into a mathematical grid, creating a visually striking and harmonious design. The artwork's colour field ombre composition creates a sense of warmth and order from a distance and invites closer inspection.

Boughton-under-Blean, Faversham

Amelia Coward is a Kent based artist best known for her explorations into mixing, blending and grading colours.

1st class honours from

Having received training based upon the colour theory teachings of Josef Albers, Amelia creates artworks that focus on the interaction of colours. Her works are carefully composed studies of spacial balance between geometric coloured elements such as circles and stripes. Influenced heavily by her woven textile training she uses laser cutters much the same way as she was trained to use a loom, cutting geometric shapes then reassembling them in patchwork compositions. Her works move dramatically from highly detailed dot pieces containing sometimes 1000’s of raised hand-painted dots to large scale striped pieces comprised of contrasting scales and bold clashing colours.
