Amanda Love (B. 1974 Columbia, South Carolina) lives and works in Granville, Ohio (USA). Love is an interdisciplinary artist whose versatile work spans from intimate pieces to expansive installations. Love’s work is profoundly shaped by the current attacks on books and the censorship of intellectual freedom. She leverages a variety of mediums and techniques to express her thematic focus, from tearing apart books to elaborate categorizations, creating pieces that resonate with both personal sentimentality and collective loss.
She has participated in numerous residencies and exhibitions nationwide. Love is currently engaged in a large-scale installation, TIGRIS, at Springfield Museum of Art in Springfield, Ohio. This exhibition is the catalyst for a NEA Big Read grant. Additionally, her work is featured in a series of galleries in Chicago and Columbus. A former bookbinder, Love's commitment to raising awareness around the suppression of literature and marginalized voices has been a driving force in her career. Through her art, she continuously seeks to foster dialogue and reflection on these critical issues, encouraging viewers to reflect on the broader implications of censorship and the essential nature of intellectual freedom.
