AMANDA BLOOM<br />
In 1994 Amanda gained a first class degree in Three Dimensional<br />
Design at Middlesex University and then went on to work in interior<br />
design, before gaining a Certificate in the Therapeutic and<br />
Educational Application of The Arts. Fascinated by the way that art<br />
allows people to express themselves, she completed a Masters in<br />
Integrative Art Psychotherapy, and began working with individual<br />
clients, using the arts to help them explore their feelings.<br />
Since moving from London to Hertfordshire in 2008 Amanda has<br />
been concentrating on her own work, with a particular emphasis on<br />
textiles and mixed media.<br />

I am drawn to the cartography of maps for their line and shape, for<br />
the promise of routes known or unknown and for their ability to bring<br />
order to chaos. They give you a sense of place, of the past, the present<br />
and even the future.<br />
I created these maps based on the early plans of Letchworth Garden<br />
City. The maps, like the town, grew over a period of time as I stitched.<br />
