We don’t always know what other people are carrying.

The beauty and power of art—creation: the relief and power of expression.

Wow,Amanda— thanks so much for sharing. Sending strengthening, encouraging positive vibes for you and family, with love.

Amanda - your piece is an amazing assemblage and expression of your journey as a mother of a beloved child beyond the mother care and protection. Thank you for the beauty of this work and your soul.

Such a beautiful assemblage Amanda created from the antique carriage. Powerful and unique. I

felt that I got to know Amanda in a new and deeper way. Thank you.

As a mother and artist, I'm deeply moved by Amanda's piece. Thank you for sharing. I myself have been working through some things through my art. It's cathartic and powerful. 🫂🩵

Amanda, this is the most powerful piece I have seen in a while. I could so feel the message, the experience, the pain, and the love. That Slinky says it all, and you have inspired me to use one as a substrate for a piece I have wanted to do for Mental Health Awareness Day. Thank you for sharing your found objects with us.
