Amber Moir’s works appear as explorations of space and scale, where light and colour are in states of perpetual motion. Her distinctive language of abstraction is rooted in process, developed primarily through an ongoing investigation into the potential of watercolour monotype printmaking. Drawn to the medium for its sense of facilitating a sequence of events rather than working directly onto a substrate, Moir approaches printmaking as an experimental and fluid practice. Receptivity remains central to her studio process, where the works often take on serial or spatial forms; expanding beyond the two-dimensional plane into sewn constructions, loose hanging pieces and artist books.
