Featuring the art of
Amanda Louise Spayd Cris Rose
Medina, OH London, United Kingdom
Amanda Spayd, a resident of semi-rural Northern Ohio, is a designer, artist, and fragrance alchemist. Her love of texture, antiques, color, and the natural world, combined with an obsessive attention to detail are used to their full advantage when creating her mixed-media sculptures. At once endearing and unsettling, her fabric creatures evoke ideas of cast-off children's toys and ill-concieved taxidermy experiments with human teeth. Amanda creates environments for many of her creatures, giving them permanent homes which hold decorations, related objects, and their personal accoutrements on display. When she's not sitting in front of her hand-cranked antique sewing machine, painting glass eyes, or boiling up homemade black walnut dye in the backyard, Amanda can be found trolling antique stores for beautifully decayed objects, formulating handmade perfumes and soaps, brewing the perfect cup of coffee, or playing a vintage analog synthesizer in her husband's music project. Cris Rose is a London based artist and designer with a degree in Product Design BSc from Brunel University. His love of technology, antiquated curios and all things nature have caused him to repeatedly produce retro styled robots with conservation on their mind and rust on their chests. It's an affliction, he can't help it. He knew what he wanted to do when he was 14. To design and make things that people could hold in their hands and enjoy, no matter what. We're happy to report that at almost 28, he's now doing this on a daily basis and feeling extremely satisfied because of it. Yet, he's a man who's never happy, who's always looking to push himself harder and trying to outdo what he's achieved before. He's a man in competition with himself and no-one else. He looks forward to a future where robots pass him in the street, where everything he imagined for the future will seem terribly quaint and where he still won't be happy. But he'll still be having fun! If you do not find him in his studio building a robot with a camera for a head, you'll find him with a camera in his hand, probably in a field.
