Ghost Home of Childhood

Size:

31"W x 156"H

Year:

​This work stands as a representation of the artist's childhood home in Lorton, Virginia, which unfortunately no longer exists. The piece translates her last goodbye to this home primarily through the patterns, colors, and textures embedded in the work. Beyond mourning the loss of her home and the decay of her memories within this sacred space, there is also a creation of life that is celebrated. This is communicated through the idea of pixelated memory and transitional uses of color. The color story for this work is reflected by the inspiration of Claude Monet's Woman with a Parasol from 1875 and E.H. Shepard's cover illustration for The House at Pooh Corner from 1970, which both held significant meaning to Amadi's childhood upbringing. She used these colors to tell the narrative of passed time from childhood to adulthood, innocence to wisdom, and from exchanged wisdom to the end of a life she and her mother shared.
