I feel extremely proud of what we produced with this project. The whole project exceeded my expectations. Amanda did a wonderful job curating, organising and managing us to keep everything on schedule and foster positive, productive, creative relationships between painters and writers.

It was a pleasure to work with the curator, whose feedback was invariably valuable and incisive. My involvement was project-managed in an optimum fashion throughout, with plenty of opportunities for dialogue and feedback. In short, I am proud to have participated in such a worthwhile and memorable project.

Outstanding project. Fascinating and innovative concept, responsively managed, a very interesting set of artists and writers. Final project was a joy to behold.

The collaboration with my partnered writer was helpful. In fact, I wish to continue doing similar projects. I also feel that people engaged with my practice in a different way with this project.

Amanda’s careful curation of disparate but complementary writers and artists was the core reason for the success of the project, and for my producing work I was very proud of for it. I was matched with two artists whose ideas bounced off and otherwise reacted brilliantly with my own. In so doing, Amanda reaffirmed my strong belief in the importance of ever-more overlappings between the arts. Fewer silos. More interdisciplinary co-minglings of skills / concepts / people / backgrounds / etc.

Amanda has taken on board a complex exhibition idea with linked website and tackled all aspects of this project in an exceptionally skilful, timely and carefully planned manner. She has managed to create a great show which brings together artists and writers and a local business in a novel, dynamic and exciting way. Many friends and people commenting on the show and website mention it being innovative and impressive. Amanda has done all this in a gentle way allowing her invitees to form bonds and create great work together.
