Amy Turner is a Brisbane mixed media collage artist whose practice beautifully integrates photography, textiles, and experiential mixed-media collage. By working with dried flowers, reclaimed frames, fabric, and symbolic layering, she transforms fragile and everyday materials into textured narratives that resonate with both personal and collective stories.
At the heart of her contemporary collage art is a holistic exploration of the human experience. Drawing from her lived experiences, Amy’s work delves into themes of resilience, memory, identity, and transformation, effectively blurring the lines between vulnerability and strength. Her intuitive and embodied process includes stitching, layering, and collaging materials, reflecting cycles of renewal and recovery, often incorporating pressed flower art and textile collage art techniques.
In addition to her artistic pursuits, Amy is actively engaged in the peer supervision sector, offering support through peer supervision and co-reflection. This role allows practitioners to enhance their reflective practices, uphold peer values, and engage in work that is grounded, relational, and humane. Her supervision work mirrors her artistic process: attentive, collaborative, and focused on meaningful engagement.
For Amy, both art and peer practice are interwoven forms of care, serving as a means to honor complexity, hold space for truth, and foster environments where beauty and fragility can coexist.
