Polaroid Emulsion Lift Workshop

Amber Lee Williams is a Canadian interdisciplinary artist living and working in St. Catharines, Ontario. Following the birth of her first daughter, she decided overnight to return to school and completed an undergraduate degree in Visual Arts at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts. She is a current MFA candidate at the University of Waterloo. Her work explores themes of motherhood and loss; life and death; absence and presence; and is often drawn from the details of everyday life. She makes work from small discoveries found in the home, such as leftover food, decaying flowers, old photographs, fridge magnets, dishes, tea bags, clothing, etc. Amber’s areas of art include analog, digital, and experimental photography, drawing, sculpture, assemblage, painting, and more. Her art practice involves a number of different approaches and processes happening simultaneously in the same space, moving from one idea or medium to the next. Often beginning with meticulous planning, Amber gives in to spontaneous experimentation and allows the process to redefine the work.
