Here is some of what Andrea says about her work:

I am interested in the fine line between reality and the unknown and use new found technology to make the impossible, possible. Most of my work comes from a fear of an end, or from a need to make death okay. I will take a bunch of dead flowers, and create a vase to display them in. I find beauty in the decay and in the bittersweet. I use my art to keep things alive. Memory is malleable, I may remember a memory from the video or from audio, but, sometimes those mediums do not do it justice alone. The event’s are recorded, but the feelings and emotions are unclear, they, as of yet, cannot be contained. It is through multiple mediums that I am able to recreate or reinterpret the experience. At this point, the memory becomes something else. In an attempt to make sense of my past, I sometimes find myself in a bigger web then when I began, new memories emerge, contexts change, worlds collide. I feel that my art speaks to our inevitable end, and our collective need to piece together our lives.
