Amy Podmore is an artist whose work investigates the animated lives within the sculptural object. Her piece Audience is on exhibit at Mass MoCa in North Adams, MA through November 2025. She teaches at Williams College and has exhibited throughout the USA as well as in Mexico, Spain and Australia.
She has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Massachusetts Cultural Council Artists Fellowship in Sculpture, the Lillian Heller Curator’s Award and the Artist’s Resource Trust Grant. She has attended the Obracadobra residency in Oaxaca, Mexico, the Linea de Costa residency in Cadiz, Spain, and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture residency in Maine. She has an upcoming residency at Sculpture Space in Utica, NY.
At MacDowell, Podmore worked on three new mixed media sculptures projects that investigate the animate lives within the sculptural object, investigating questions about stillness, the static, animation and transference, and working on ways to convey how gesture, sound, and the projected image can cause a perceptible shift in how “static-ness” of a sculpture is understood.
