Amanda Richardson has been commissioned to create artworks for a multitude of public spaces, from a towering collage in the foyer of the Waldorf Astoria in Florida, to large works at Boeing headquarters, Universities in Alaska and Washington, to entrances of major banks, corporate offices and reception areas of Marriott and Hilton Hotels.Her collages are in private collections across Britain, America, Australia and beyond. ”My collages are formed of hand-dyed fabrics, using different types of dye for the different fibres. Procyon dyes for natural fibres such as silk, Disperse dyes for synthetic fibres. After dyeing, a layer of heat fusible glue is ironed onto the back of all the fabric. This holds the weave together allowing the cutting of very fine pieces and clean edges. Very sharp scissors are used to cut the fabrics. Each collage is built up, layer upon layer, and when complete the glue is fixed with steam”
