Amanda Burns
About
Interdisciplinary visual artist from the UK with MA and BA (Hons) degrees in Fine Art, Contemporary Creative Practice, Film & Video Production respectively. I am a former assistant to the late artist and Andy Warhol Superstar, Ultra Violet.
My practice is often formed from narratives of the body within social, cultural, political and personal frameworks. I work primarily, but not exclusively, with mixed media and lens-based media.
Historically, my practice has extended to covert, live works that lay between happenings and activism. Document of these interventions are not currently included on this website.
