Today’s ‘subscriber in the spotlight’ is San Francisco based artist Amy Torgeson… listen to this:

Amy loves stories, writing, and words but was ultimately a frustrated writer. Her love of typography (the shapes not the nomenclature) serves as an important starting point for much of her work.

Amy Torgeson is an artist working in printmaking and collage. She loves the collaborative relationship between both methods; printmaking provides material for collage, and the layering and multi-dimensional qualities of collage make their way back into her printmaking. Her studio practice is focused on process and experimentation and she likes to see evidence of the process in the final work.

“I’m hoping to capture a sense of being in the middle of things, of coming upon a work when there’s still potential, when the thing is still alive and unfinished. That’s the most exciting moment to me, when I’m in the middle of making.”

I love that! I also love that a frustrated writer uses letterforms in her visual art! You can find Amy’s available work in her online shop, and she’s on Instagram at @amytorgeson.

Have a great weekend ~ Danielle
