Artistic Practice

Andrews' work reveals the ways in which images and cultural symbols are, like other kinds of observable phenomena, rooted in the physical world.

She does so by channeling the legacies of pop art on the one hand and minimalism on the other, often juxtaposing readymade and found objects (such as certified film props and licensed photographs) with fabricated, meticulously finished forms whose reflective surfaces call attention to the act of looking. In so doing, she examines latent power dynamics in acts of desire and consumption, and addresses the implied violence of dominant image histories from a feminist perspective, opening up new, more critically aware ways of seeing.
