Amber Eve Anderson is a conceptual artist based in Baltimore, Maryland. She received an MFA from the Mount Royal School of Art multidisciplinary program at MICA and a BFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She was a fellow at Hamiltonian Artists in Washington, DC and has received funding from the Maryland State Arts Council and the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities. Her work has been featured in The Washington Post, BmoreArt Journal of Art & Ideas, Hyperallergic, and The Creator's Project. Amber previously served on the Advisory Board of the Institute of Contemporary Art and was a regularly contributing writer for BmoreArt.
Amber's work considers the ways identity and behavior are informed by one’s surroundings, both physical and virtual. Oftentimes, this begins in the context of the home and extends from the objects and ideas therein, to the cities and landscapes beyond. She combines everyday objects with text and digital ephemera, such as screenshots from her smartphone, in playful and poetic ways that reflect her personal experience. The work calls attention to underlying, often invisible, systems and encourages one to engage with these systems in unexpected ways. Most recently, her work has delved into the realm of targeted advertising and online shopping habits, exploring ideas of comfort, meaning, and fulfillment through sculpture, cardboard box monoprints, and reviews written on a five-star scale.
