Amanda Thomson
Amanda Thomson is a visual artist who currently works as a lecturer in the Glasgow School of Art. She gained her doctorate in Interdisciplinary Arts Practice, based around the landscapes and the forests of the North of Scotland, in 2013. She has previous degrees in the social sciences and worked in social research. Trained primarily as a printmaker, her creative practice is ideas and research-led and fuses traditional and digital printmaking techniques with photography, bookmaking, video and soundworks, sculptural pieces and creative non-fiction. Her interests include how we are located (and locate ourselves) in the world; space, place and landscape; and explorations of home, nativity, migration, mapping and how places come to be made. Thomson’s writing has been published in journals including Geographical Review and Performance Research.
