art fanship

I've written art reviews (or maybe they should be called art appreciations, since I'm more of a fan than a critic of most of the work I write about) for Asthmatic Kitty Records' sidebar for a while now (I just realized my first post was November 1st, 2006 when I scrolled back into my author archives!). I love to have a place to formally think out some of the ways that new work is moving to me, and to share my discoveries with others. And I'm a big supporter of the way that the label champions art in general, in all its forms.

This week, my review of Amanda Hamilton's work goes up. I got to see Hamilton's short film Beautiful Terrible and artist's talk at Seattle Pacific Art Center earlier this year, and she gave me so much cud to chew. Her view of the world is such a potent mixture of dreamy and honest, and I loved hearing about her process. Read the review for more information and thoughts!
