About Amanda Walters
Amanda Walters is a writer, editor, and multimedia artist working primarily with sculptural forms and textiles. Born and raised in Southwest Florida, she is greatly influenced by the landscape and cultural phenomena of the region. Both her written and visual works explore the strange and well-manicured history of her home state, the not inherently visible intersections of landscape and capitalism; death, nature, and the absurd; social ecology; and the fantasies embedded in tourism. She is one half of Feral Fabric, a journal and collaborative social practice textile project. The Feral Fabric Journal is a scholarly periodic journal highlighting radical textile production in art, activism, and countercultural movements. For its collaborative art projects, Feral Fabric works with the community to make textile art, from story quilts with unhoused communities to banners and flags at protests.
