Andrea Myers
Tangled Web, 2011. Machine-sewn fabric collage, 30 in by 45 in.
My sculptural works present a seemingly whole object that has then been disrupted, fractured or rendered vulnerable, exposing striations of color in an otherwise white or neutral colored object or site. The objects I create become charged with a polarity of solid, stable object juxtaposed with a vulnerable more human moment of the revealed interior. Through abstract means, the pieces collapse, erupt, and give in to the pressure of objecthood, allowing the sculptures to serve as surrogates of an imperfect and human condition. Andrea is represented by Circuit, 12 Gallery, Dallas, TX. 60
