'A Weight Lifted' by Amanda Outcalt
“My work is a layered combination of intaglio etching, painting, drawing, stitching, collage and gold leafing. After a long year, this bear is me (and probably all of us) as gears shift, and we dip our toes back into the lives we used to lead before 2020 changed so many things for everyone. The scissors the bees carry are from sewing patterns, a perfect metaphor for putting the pieces back together after they have been torn apart and reimagining a new reality.” - Amanda
