Amber Brown

Discipline:

Photographer, Printmaker

Location:

North East England

ABOUT:

Amber Brown is a Northumbrian photographer and printmaker. She explores notions of place,
home and belonging over continuous periods of time through cultural, political and personal
narratives. Her practice is rooted in many slow, ritualistic processes which largely fall under the
umbrella of printmaking and large format photography, a medium which she is dedicated to.
She utilises labour-intensive techniques to investigate the post-industrial landscape, ideas of
Northernness and how archives can interact with the contemporary.
She also practices in curation and outreach, recently working on a programme in Scotland
looking at barriers to arts education. Amber Brown gained a BA in Photography at Edinburgh
College of Art and is studying an MA in Art Museum & Gallery Studies at Newcastle University.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
