About
Amanda Charchian is an artist living and working in Los Angeles. While earning her BFA at Otis College of Art and Design, she began investigating the state of alienation through realms of the physical, psycho-social and spiritual human condition. Employing photography, sculpture and painting to transmit mystical experience into matter, her art practice is a means of communicating the subconscious sphere into objects; creating possible portals to ascend beyond known reality. Each medium functions in a different way as a response to these simulcasts, photography being the most immediate and sculpture more gradually revealing its mysteries.
