The Department of Art and Art History hosts a site-specific installation by the multi-media artist based at Towson University
Amanda Burnham’s drawings and large, site-specific installations, which are also drawings, begin as anecdotal moments either recorded or observed in the city around her, and frequently evolve to emphasize the darkly comic and absurd. Installations are (usually) composed of hundreds of quick, gestural acrylic and flash paint sketches made with a fat brush that are then cut and collaged onto built armatures and the existing surfaces of a space. These are sometimes further animated with embedded lighting. The effect is somewhere between a comic book and a stage set.
Burnham is an associate professor at Towson University.
Exhibition continues through March 3. Gallery hours are Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
