Amanda Hood creates paintings that portray nature and landscapes under duress. Fire, smoke, haze, pastel color, muted tones, with yellows and reds as fire and greys and pinks as haze. The paint drips down as though the canvas is wet from the rain with the impression of a rain-soaked landscape.

Amanda Hood Uses landscape and atmosphere as metaphor, her paintings investigate the idea of a personal and collective loss of innocence. Familiar landscapes are depicted in stages of burning and destruction, and imagery shifts between brutal, uncontrollable natural force, and subtle indications of human intervention. Smoke is transformed into a physical body, and layers of light and haze obscure information.
