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.
