Her visual work explores perceptions on both micro and macro levels. Amy's videos, sculptural objects, and wearable technologies question how we create meaning through memories, the senses, and unexpected narratives. A current work in progress, “You’re not brown, just tan,” investigates perceptions of cultural heritage through exploring childhood memories, family legacy, and media imagery. The project proposes new forms of hybridity via Iranian memory objects and videos created out of the material of the Texan suburbs where Amy grew up.
