With a particular interest in embroidery, Andrea uses elements of performance, ceramic and assemblage 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 creating as a form of stimming, and with non-performative creation in public spaces, Andrea addresses these environments in the context of dis/ability, reclaiming these spaces, transforming them into arenas of expression and resistance.

Recently turning to ceramic sculpture, Andrea juxtaposes the delicacy of antique linen and the biting embroidered words embedded in it with nonsensical, non-functional glazed vessels creating a shocking sense of bathos. Channelling anger, with needle and clay is Andrea’s radical act of resistance.
