Euphrosyne Andrews GBA

Euphrosyne's practice unpicks the conceptual considerations of thresholds and boundaries in their broadest sense. Such separations, the partitioning of public and private space; the often incongruous gendering of these spaces, or the inherent delimitations between the man-made and the mass-produced, are investigated within artworks that move between domestic and architectural scale.

Her work highlights our relationship with materials, from engrained material associations to the behaviours and interactions that they promote. Particularly drawn to processes or materials that blur distinctions between the fine and applied arts, individual works marry traditional craft processes with commercial techniques and technologies, focusing on the point at which the hand meets the machine. Research into the wider history of the decorative and applied arts and their cultural, societal and political relevance sits alongside an interest in the role of the multiple in relation to print methodologies, bringing into question the relationship between artwork and product, viewer and consumer.

Euphrosyne was recently awarded the Henry Moore Foundation Grant from her permanent public sculpture comission at KARST gallery in Plymouth last year. Recent exhibitions include a corresponding solo exhibition at KARST gallery, Soft Edges, Draw Close; Drifting Terrain (group exhibition at KCCUK London); Digitalis Purpurea (solo exhibition) and Plumbing Wine (group exhibition at Avalon Café, London).
