About the Art
What the artist saysEngaged in the physical and material processes of constructing pieces, my work grows, shifts and accumulates through contrasts in materiality, form and scale.
Why we like itAndrea’s pages are torn and manipulated to reveal stories and experiences of the layers beneath.
Where we hang it“Weathering I” is at once monochromatic and full of color and would work in a space with either palette. Hang it with “Weathering II” for double impact.
