Amanda Mulcahy

Amanda Mulcahy is a Chicago native who fancies herself an urban naturalist collecting and documenting the minutiae of city life for further studio study. She begins many projects in locations as varied as Lakeview alleyways or Pictured Rocks rock faces. She anticipates graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in May 2014 and from there she will document her observations and travels as she backpacks her way through the Glacier National Park and Badlands National Park . Although she employs a variety of materials (such as rag paper, bed linens, old text books, Polaroids, and crochet), Mulcahy approaches her practice from a painter’s perspective. Read Less
