Amy Moffat

British born Amy currently lives in London. She is a Wimbledon College of Art Prize Winner.

Her work involves taking archival imagery and manipulating it thus dissolving its link to its origin but leaving information so there is a sense of the familiar.

The strange unauthentic colours are what attract Amy to the old imagery. They can’t represent a ‘reality’ that modern photography can appear to do.

The paintings are not necessarily about what they portray but the act of portrayal. What at first may appear to be documentary or social commentary becomes less representation and more a sensory experience, a feeling of something going on.
