Amanda Salov’s work examines the qualities of a moment, or the idea of a moment in physical form: temporal, fragile and fleeting. With her porcelain sculptures, installations, and paintings, she uses natural phenomena as metaphors and anchors for the transitions we all face. Raised in rural Wisconsin, she received her BFA from the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater and her MFA from the University of Missouri - Columbia. She has shown work throughout the United States and has earned a number of awards, including the Oregon Art Commission Grant (2013, 2016, 2017), Ford Family Foundation Grant (2016, 2017), a Washington State Artist Trust Grant (2018), and an Allied Arts Grant (2022). Salov has received residencies and teaching opportunities around the globe including at the Reykjavik School of Visual Arts in Iceland, Tainan National University of the Arts in Taiwan, laRex I’Atelier in France, the Archie Bray Foundation, the University of Washington, and the University of Arkansas. She is currently a studio artist in Seattle, Washington.
