A Scene Involving
2025, Terracotta, mixed media, found objects, Dimensions variable

View detail shots
An altered ladder stands at the center of the space, surrounded by a suspended bucket, hanging lines, cast objects, and scattered materials. Red light catches the worn surfaces and gives the installation the feeling of a paused worksite.

Amy brings attention to the unsung workhorses of exhibition making. The ladder and bucket usually help build the display, then disappear before viewers arrive. Here, they remain in place. The ladder also becomes a symbolic scaffold, holding together ideas of support, effort, and the artist’s absent body. Nothing in the scene explains exactly what has happened. The loose materials, hanging bucket, and unfinished arrangement form an incomplete narrative. Viewers are left to imagine the actions that came before, or those still waiting to begin.
An installation composed of an altered ladder, suspended bucket, cast sculptural objects, and found materials. The ladder functions as both architectural support and symbolic scaffold, while light, gravity, and suspended objects activate the surrounding space. The work considers the unsung workhorses of the installation process (the ladder, the artists body, the bucket) while the composition suggests an incomplete narrative.
