About Me
I'm a Fashion Photographer and Performance Artist Based In Falmouth
Amy Sorrell is a performance artist, working with self portraiture, sculptures and installations, she uses a wide range of mediums to construct an intimate relationship through self-expression of the body she lives in.
In my art I explore my experience as a disabled female with an invisible illness, I do this by demonstrating fragility and instability, in order to create a raw and convincing aesthetic. After studying Fashion Photography at Falmouth University for the past 3 years, I have noticed my drive coming from an auto-biographic direction in performances.
INSPIRATION
My initial inspiration is exploring the relationship between myself and my disabled body.
Throughout my time at University I have extended my research to the maximum, becoming so involved in what has happened and what is happening in the world of Female performance artists. Performance Art has been a huge step for women in art, from Carolee Schneemann to Tracey Emin, both creating performances and installations with no boundaries, and both in very different time periods.

MY WORK
PORTFOLIOS
DETAIL
‘Secluded Figures’ is a body of work which explores the reality of living with a chronic illness.
Expressing rejection, isolation, frustration, irritation and grief. I work with a fashion designer, Katie Sorrell (@sorrellkatie) to approach garment isolation represented through structure and fabric manipulation. Reflecting a project which explores the journey of wellbeing, disabilities, health, and healing through modern visual development.
My art is the way I reestablish the bonds that tie me to the universe.- Ana Mendieta
