amy reader
is a fiber and installation artist based in Charlotte, NC. She developed a love of making at age 6 when she started making tiny clothing for her stuffed animals and she hasn't stopped creating since. Now she makes hand sewn art ranging from wearable art in the form of pins and necklaces to freeform soft sculptures. In addition, Amy creates bespoke art installations grounded in the use of intricate, handmade components to create a large scale display.

#100daysofcirclesonpaper
During the summer, Amy completed one sketch every day for 100 days. The only prompt for this was to fill the circle on the paper that was exactly the size of an almond milk yogurt cup. 100 days and 100 circles later, the daily sketches range from fruit studies and abstract patterns, to floral designs and embroidery on paper.
