SICK AF Collective founder
Amanda Alderson is an artist and independent curator, with 25 years experience in arts and cultural management. Her artwork, curatorial projects, objects and jewellery draws directly on her research and background in cultural heritage and contemporary arts. Sharing stories is her passion.
The SICK AF exhibition was borne out of her own complex healing journey – becoming SICK AF in 2021 with disabling injuries from her covid-19 vaccination. Curating and exhibiting in SICK AF has been a challenging three year inspirational goal – a place to forge a new identity, of tangible neuroplasticity, exploring the peripheries of what a damaged body can do; and of re-learning how to safely navigate her world.
Creating beautiful objects has been a beacon of light in her recovery process.
Amanda has a Bachelor of Arts, Visual Art, Curtin University, a Diploma of Fine Arts, Western Australian School of Art, Design and Media and a Diploma in Jewellery, Jewellers Academy London.
