Inspired by folk art, crafts, and decorative traditions, Amber Perrodin’s artwork is capable of transforming the mundain into something intriguingly complex and familiar. She uses depictions of buildings, furniture, or animals to convey a prevalent theme of domesticity. These objects are typically and indirectly used as a description of herself. This structure inevitably makes Perrodin’s body of work an autobiographical sketch. Marrying traditional printmaking methods with innovative mediums such as thread work and domestic materials, she is always relating back to her encompassed theme of home.
Amber Perrodin was born in Springdale, Arkansas in 1983. She graduated in 2006 with her Associate of Arts degree and then again in 2010 with a BFA in printmaking from the University of Arkansas. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions in locations such as Brooklyn and throughout Northwest Arkansas.
