Don’t Ignore the Periphery artwork – Amanda Alderson

Boundary / experiment / controllable / threshold (break the loop)

admin — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:21:43 +0000

A large statement bracelet, this piece is part of Amanda’s own experimental monoprint series. The labradorite gleams softly within silver, layered over shaped wood. The stamped words invite you to consider limits—and what happens when you step over them. Boundary / experiment / controllable / threshold (break the loop). Bold and physical, this piece is made to be touched, questioned, worn, and then returned to its place.

Light & hope

admin — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:21:39 +0000

Moonstone glows with quiet power in Light & hope, Amanda’s response to ongoing creative resilience. Set in silver and resting on shaped wood, the ring holds softness and clarity—something almost celestial. Behind it, the monoprint swells with tonal complexity: frenetic, layered, and atmospheric. This is a piece about contrast and strength—about carrying brightness gently, even when the world around you surges.

Move beyond

admin — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:21:04 +0000

Move beyond conjures a deep night sky—inked with potential and anchored by a single, glowing point. The monoprint’s layered darkness holds depth and mystery, while the ring’s golden shimmer glints like a distant star. There’s hope in its glimmer, a luminous invitation to expansion. Balanced on its shelf, the piece feels less like a pause and more like a horizon line—ready to be crossed.

Unexplained

admin — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:17:07 +0000

There’s something unknowable here—both soft and powerful—like intuition or memory. Unexplained is one of Amanda’s own monoprints—bold and gestural with a landscape-like energy. A blue cultured pearl sits in a silver setting, ringed with shaped wood. The fluid motion of the piece evokes water lapping against its boundaries, while negative space in the ring’s form nods to Brad’s subtractive print processes.

Tell don’t ask

admin — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:17:06 +0000

Smoky quartz and silver form the heart of Tell don’t ask, paired with Brad Coleman’s monoprint. There’s quiet confidence in this piece—the steady grey of the gemstone, the firm shape of the ring, the directness of the title. It’s an invitation to speak plainly, to take up space. And when not worn, it rests gently, but never passively.

Don’t be the smoke

admin — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:17:04 +0000

Grounded by the strength of tourmaline, Don’t be the smoke stands with clarity amid haziness. The monoprint, layered with subtle impasto and bold shapes, becomes a quiet mirror for the ring’s form—solid, intentional, quietly directive. The work encourages a kind of stillness that resists dispersal. Even as colour peeks through the layers, the piece holds steady. It’s a gentle nudge to stay defined when the world blurs.

Parts of a whole, a whole of parts SOLD

admin — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:17:00 +0000

With sparkling zirconia and a sculptural setting, this piece quietly considers how everything is connected. Brad Coleman’s monoprint sets the tone—bold yet precise—and the ring holds its own as part of a greater conversation. When worn, Parts of a whole, a whole of parts is a statement; when resting, it becomes an object of reflection.

Don’t ignore the periphery

admin — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:15:05 +0000

Don’t ignore the periphery is a celebration of the edge. Amanda’s monoprint spills with layered colour—lime, apricot, vivid blues—calling attention to what’s usually overlooked. In both the ring and print, forms sit slightly off-centre, drawing the eye to the margins. This piece leans into the vibrancy of the fringe—the spaces we pass by but shouldn’t. It’s an invitation to notice the overlooked, to explore the power of the periphery.

Break the loop

admin — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:13:18 +0000

Break the loop draws its strength from shared tension. Both ring and monoprint feature high-contrast palettes that speak to disruption—bold lapis and warm copper shine through areas of deliberate erosion. Silver and white appear worn down, exposing vibrant underlayers. The work resists smoothness, asking us to confront cycles and interruptions. Held only by its shelf, the ring captures that pivotal moment—where everything’s about to shift.

Navigate

admin — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 12:08:32 +0000

Navigate is one of Amanda’s monoprint responses—more experimental and process-led. The cubic zirconias catch light like tiny wayfinders, embedded in silver atop sculpted wood. This piece speaks to moments of direction-finding, of reorientation, and of choosing your own path. It’s designed to rest securely on its shelf, but it’s always ready to move.
