Pure Quiverby Amber Moir

South African artist Amber Moir’s works read as reflections of light and colour that are in states of perpetual motion. Moir’s distinctive visual language blurs the lines between control and spontaneity, art and process – grounded in the experimental practice of watercolour monotype printmaking.

Moir’s journey into printmaking began as an exploration of collaboration – with materials, techniques, and outcomes. Her practice embraces unpredictability while layering complexity and stillness into her work. As the monotype prints evolve, they transform into hand-sewn textiles, artist books, or serve as ‘footprints’ for new drawings and paintings. 

The pieces featured in ‘The Hum’ are deeply inspired by sound’s ephemeral nature – its movement, its resonance, its ability to sketch space beyond language. Moir’s innovative process and fluid experimentation continue to shape her evolving artistic journey, leaving traces of motion, sound, and colour as vivid imprints on the canvas of her work.
