Michael Rutherford interviews painter Amanda Friedman about her work and studio practice. Friedman's work was recently on view at Eli Ping, New  York.

Rutherford writes that "the expansive, sprawling swaths of paper that Amanda Friedman refers to as Thought-forms have pulled me into their orbit and provided plenty to think about. The painted surfaces, existing not on canvas but on pieced-together fields of paper, have a delicate and ephemeral feeling, as if they’re conveyors of fleeting things that cannot be uttered; things unsaid but definitely sensed visually. In the near future, I anticipate spotting more of these works—enigmatic continents of emotion adrift on seas of white spaces."
