Epicenter NYC visited the studio of Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya, MFA Communications Design ’15, in Brooklyn as part of a larger profile of her practice and influences. “Phingbodhipakkiya works across assemblage, sculpture and installation. Fiber has long been central to her practice, and in recent years she has expanded into ceramics, copper and wood, continually widening her materials vocabulary. She moved to New York City in 2006 and studied neuroscience with a focus on aging before fully committing to her art practice. She noted that strong community ties are among the most significant predictors of how we age—an idea that quietly underpins much of her work.”
