Show Yourself You Can
If You Are Always Halfway Up A Hill
You’ll Never Reach The Sky
But Really, You Have Always Known
I Feel Brave Today
Mount Capable
If You Still Don’t Know, Ask The Sea
If You Don’t Know, Go For A Walk
Taking Care Of The Entire Landscape
Held For As Long And As Softly As Possible
Mount Capable (Poem)
Amy Gear is an artist and poet from Shetland whose work connects language, landscape, and lived experience. She works across drawing, printmaking, writing, film, and installation, using colour and text to explore how identity and place shape each other.  

Her exhibitions include Works on Paper: Women Artists at Aberdeen Archives, Gallery and Museum (2025–26), Illusive Utopias at Generator Projects (2022), Shapes of Water with Travelling Gallery (2020–21), and solo shows at Look Again Project Space, Shetland Museum and Archives, and Market Gallery.

She studied at Gray’s School of Art and the Royal College of Art, and is co-director and co-founder of Gaada.
