Andy is an artist, designer and performer. His visual arts practice spanning two decades explores contemporary existence, and how the choices we make inherently effect, respond to, and delineate social evolution. His work utilises post consumer materials to create installations, sculptures and objects. His performances explore religion, liturgy and ritual in a contemporary secular context and how we can come to terms with the rapid changes brought on by industrialisation, globalisation and climate change. Andy’s recent work includes public performance/installations at Taste of Tasmania, Open House Hobart, Kellys Garden, Seafarers Festival, and St Johns Park New Town. This is Andy’s first foray into theatre and he is immensely thankful for the amazing people and organizations supporting this new work.
