Andrew was born deaf in a hearing family and attended hearing schools. He believes that this has made him the artist he is – when you can’t quite connect with an audible world, you become good at seeing.

Shaped by a life spent navigating between silence and sound, inclusion and exclusion, Andrew uses his sculpture as a way to explore vulnerability, resilience and the quiet emotional landscapes that often go unnoticed. His work begins with personal experience but reaches towards broader human concerns: isolation, power, injustice, belonging, and our relationship with the natural world.

Working primarily in stone, Andrew creates sculptures that invite viewers to look beyond the surface. Animals and everyday objects become metaphors for lives constrained, overlooked or displaced. Although each work carries its own narrative, together they form an ongoing exploration of what it means to exist on the margins, and of the dignity that can be found there.

Environmental and political themes remain central to his practice, not as separate subjects but as extensions of the same concern. Whether addressing ecological destruction, social inequality or the treatment of vulnerable communities, Andrew’s work asks us to notice what is too often ignored. His sculptures do not seek to provide answers; instead, they encourage reflection, empathy and conversation.

Every sculpture is carved from reclaimed stone, giving discarded material a renewed purpose. This commitment reflects both an environmental ethic and a belief that what has been overlooked still possesses value, history and the potential for transformation.
