Bread and Badger
South End Open Market
May 19 & 20 Opening Weekend . September 15 & 16 South End Open Studios . October 7
The name comes from the term "bread and butter," because this is Amanda's main source of income, but she added the word "badger" because Amanda was inspired by an article in National Geographic about honey badgers. Honey badgers are fearless creatures that will not back down from a fight, and are impervious to venom. They can kill animals many times their size and they eat bees and poisonous snakes. "Quiting my job and starting her own business has been one of the hardest things I've ever done, and I am inspired by those tough little creatures that can take on so much that other animals fear".
"Bread and Badger is my attempt to make a living by creating art that I love". Amanda's inspirations include body art, classic motifs from around the world, fashion starting from the '20s, and pop art and culture.
