Her art is informed and inspired by her surroundings and all the research she does links her work together whether it's a piece of art, a text based piece or a performance. The research she does involves looking into histories, myths, news articles, local stories and her work is 'informed' by situations, conservations and productions of art as well as the previously listed.
The live art she produces and performs is usually linked well to the local area and art surrounding art scenes.
Amelia also completed the 12 month challenge in 2010.
1 project. 12 challenges. 12 months - 1 challenge a month.
2010 Challenge on Amelia's Website!
"Throughout the course of 2010 challenges were submitted to be undertaken and used as a starting point for the production of art work. It aimed to test artistic practice by undertaking tasks that were in some way alien, and challenges that didn't allow for easy options and had a high chance of struggle, fatigue and failure. Although the challenges were invited to be open, many of those submitted were personal to the challengers, and relevant to the individual.
Throughout the course of the project the emphasis began to shift. Instead of selecting the most challenging each month, the challenges began to be selected with the quality of art work in mind. The project was an exploration into the collaborative act of an artistic practice, and the exploration was an opportunity to discover, take part, learn, take risks, fail and excel. The project concluded in 2011."
Amelia got people to send her challenges, once she had been sent 12 her mission was to complete these art based challenges, one per month, for the whole year. She also assessed how well she did and kept track.
Her art and the projects she takes part in have given us something to think about, whether we could do the same, make up our own or challenge each other.
Example of a challenge:
Each challenge was posted on her website with some sort of proof she'd done it, photographs, video or audio etc.
Here's the image that goes with her January challenge.

The Lady Mayor of Nottingham, Councillor Jeanine Packer
'Invite local celebrities, national celebrities, local government, local clubs and societies, local press, important people and less so, to come to your studio and have you explain what it is that you do / are doing. It will take all of your cunning and tactical skills to get people to actually come, and you can rate the exercise based on who you manage to get (ie. the mayor = 10 points, head of the local hells angels = 4 points).'"
