I MAKE WORK ABOUT WEAVING, UNIFYING THOUGHTS, MOVING THROUGH STATES, HIERARCHY,
POP
and MUSIC.PUzzLes
..........games and movement serve as devices to reflect on feelings of fragmentation and the power inherent in many pieces coming together to form a nuanced whole.I've wanted to add for so long, I love Combi Versace so much by rosalia as it’s so close to why are friend Electric and i love that synthesizer sound so much with her vocal range. And only a sicko would forget to mention the Sugarbabes bootleg that they then recorded as a single, FREAK LIKE ME.
DANCE THERAPY
2017-2024Her approach to materiality is mirrored across mediums. Themes are cobbled together, whether working in collage, sculpture, video or audio samples. Considering sound as a physical object in space, she works with the idea that echoic (sound) memory is stored for longer periods than iconic (visual) memory.
Working with archives of images and sound, she is interested in the power of the role of the archivist, to foreground or background certain information. In this way the politics of the edit; either subtle or violent, are of interest whilst considering the impact of biases.
Collage
2022-25
Her collages continue upon these themes,
layering found posters, photography, archival family photos and news clippings
I made these in over the pst 6 months, worked on them in London, San Francisco, Lima, Madrid... They were shown at Nina Johnson Gallery

Andersen’s work forms an investigation into group dynamics, movement, its propertie. Puzzles serve as devices to reflect on feelings of fragmentation as well as the power inherent in many pieces composing a nuanced whole.
The works function like relics, revealing a residue or core in the process of deconstructing the installation, prompting the viewer into the narrative of her wider practice. Joy is an act of resistance
