Amy Turner is a Brisbane mixed media collage artist whose practice encompasses 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 core of her contemporary collage art lies a holistic exploration of the human experience. Drawing from her lived experience, 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 in ways that reflect cycles of renewal and recovery, often integrating pressed flower art and textile collage art techniques.
In addition to her creative endeavors, Amy is deeply involved in the peer supervision sector, offering support through peer supervision and co-reflection. This role enables practitioners to enhance their reflective practice, 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, 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.
