About
As an
interdisciplinary artist with a particular interest in
embroidery, Andrea blends and blurs perceived boundaries of arts practice. They
use elements of sculpture, film and textiles to address the enduring impacts of
colonialism, the live-streaming of genocide, the existential realities of climate change, and
the ongoing struggles for disability rights, gender equality, and racial
justice.
By engaging in stitching as a form of stimming through non-performative creation in public spaces, Andrea addresses these environments
in the context of dis/ability and reclaims these spaces, transforming them into
arenas of expression and resistance. The delicate threads of embroidery become
a powerful medium for dialogue, commenting on fraying tensions and unravelling
societal narratives that are often silenced or overlooked.
Their art is not just a visual experience but an invitation
to engage, reflect, and act.
Andrea creates with a profound sense of purpose, driven by
process rather than outcome. Each stitch is one of defiance, a call to
acknowledge the injustices woven into their art, a tangible rally cry born from
intangible strands of history, emotion and identity.
They seek to inspire a collective consciousness, urging
viewers to question, to feel, and ultimately, to become agents of change.
