About | Ample

Ample Projects is a Sydney based art studio and collaborative practice to over 100 animators, designers, sculptors, painters, video artists, lighting programers, interactive developers, composers and musicians.

Founded and directed by Lucy Keeler and Nicholas Tory, Ample creates public art installations with a particular interest in architectural projection mapping, and light based sculpture.

The Ample Projects studio develops both conceptual and narrative-driven work about living in our world, and how the world effects us, we draw inspiration from our experiences of high density city living and the parallel conflicts of a desire to be immersed in nature, we have a unique focus on experiential art, and the various media and technologies available to create meaningful work within virtual and ephemeral medium.
