About

AMATA DOODS
  • Adding the complex to the minimal
  • Meditating on the formation of consciousness and the invisible universe
  • Illustrating energy through the abstract


My style is created through a stream of consciousness. A meditation. To me, it's an ode to creation. Cells and tissues are nothing if not repetitive. But if you let them build, suddenly a consciousness emerges. This is how my work forms. Sketching this way, I try to pose the idea that maybe Creation values the invisible building materials that form the bodies of conscious beings a little more than most art acknowledges. I want to accentuate these small essential things and the energy they bring.



There are also pieces that are symbollic representations for PTSD, panic disorder, and overstimulation. I want folks to be able to connect with these feelings in a palatable, non-triggering way through the use of abstract representation. 



I also intentionally create visual depth shifts throughout most pieces. Ideally there should be multiple ways to interpret things throughout the piece. I want your eyes to move and explore with curiosity and enjoy the details.
