Amy Herrmann is an upcoming artist who completed her Visual Arts Degree (specializing in Photography) at the South Australian School of Art at Uni SA in 2011. Herrmann was awarded the Deborah Paauwe Photography Award for Excellence at the Uni SA Visual Arts Graduate Exhibition. Herrmann was also accepted to attend a 6 week residency with the Parsons Paris School of Art and Design in Paris, France during her final year of Undergraduate studies and is currently undertaking her Honours with the University of South Australia. Herrmann is particularly interested in issues surrounding identity and explores these sometimes confronting topics through the lens of her camera with the combined assistance of performance and photography. The way in which Herrmann has shot many of these images are at times warped or blurred to magnify the confusion that often surrounds the boundaries of gender. Herrmann has created the sense of a performance still that has been captured during motion where she has seized a moment in time. The imagery offers an abstracted physical form, recognizable enough to raise questions in relation to the feminine and masculine roles played in society.
