For a moment I felt like I was in Andrea’s world, her work might be characterised as ‘serious play’, as she embraces contradictory impulses, like for example, organic and geometric, inside and outside, ugly and beautiful, playful and threatening, hard and soft.

I really liked the receptor series, which refer to internal processes of the (human) body which we hardly pay attention to in everyday life. They are based on considerations of sensory perception. In their form, the objects are reminiscent of sensory buds or receptor cells that have one or more openings/holes through which the outside communicates with the inside and vice versa. We explicitly expose ourselves to intensified sensory perceptions when we visit an exhibition, for example. At the moment when the ‘receptors’ are looked at, we receive inner and outer impulses, which in turn are able to trigger emotions, thoughts, memories...’

Small but beautiful!
