Andrea has always made things, and her work has naturally evolved over a number years. Her degree in embroidery necessarily involved experimentation with a variety of materials and techniques, which opened her up as an artist to more clearly focus on specific areas of interest and personal creative flair.
A fascination with pattern and repetition leads her to take inspiration from nature, especially focusing on the gradual formation and transitions of flowers to create rhythmic forms. Modest forms are a consistent theme in her work and she is intrigued by the importance and beauty of minimalism.
Her practice largely focuses on the production of 3D ‘drawings’, which are created through the experimentation of humble processes. Origami and paper cutting are key methods in her work, and their simplicity allows the pieces to form organically.
