The kind of exhaustion that causes the spine to curl like a cat who sleeps in an empty pot under the warm morning sun not noticing the drool slowly pooling in the dirt. It’s also the kind of fog birthed from rage, its energy thwarted and dulled into persistent sleepiness, a longing for the haze of eternal rest and relaxation.
is a multidisciplinary artist working in Naarm, so-called Melbourne, Australia.

By embracing joyful melancholy and magical dreaming, Andrea’s practice seeks to cultivate encounters between artist and audience that examine contemporary anxieties relating to shame, fear and grief.
