Hope Amico
Portland, Oregon, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an artist who never felt comfortable with my life drawing skills, I use collage as one way of creating drawings without drawing. I like to work in batches, starting with ink blots or themed source material to develop representations of conversations, interactions and inner discourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope Amico (she\/her) is a collage artist, letterpress printer, former community bike shop volunteer and enthusiastic art educator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is the force behind Gutwrench Press, a letterpress shop, zine distribution, and home of the \u201cKeep Writing Project\u201d, a monthly postcard subscription since 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her work has been shown in Oakland, California; New Orleans, Louisiana; Denver, Colorado; and Barranquilla, Colombia.
