Natessa Amin
Natessa Amin teaches at Moravian College in Bethlehem, pa and is a co-founder of fjord, an artist-run collective in Philadelphia. She brings elements of sculpture and drawing to her highly tactile painting practice, which is also defined by an ongoing investigation of texture, reflectivity, and the other subtleties of pigments, dyes, and paints. Alongside natural forms, cultural references influence her sensitive abstraction. She frequently incorporates imagery that evokes Indian, African, and Pennsylvania Dutch textiles as a response to her family’s background and the place in which she was raised, lending her forms a simultaneously iconic and emotional quality. |
