Andrea Wood 2009

Andrea Wood’s work “The Persistence” was selected by the jurors for inclusion into the Collab exhibition at Touchstone Gallery, on display from Aug. 8 through Sept. 1. Working in layered abstraction, Wood uses repurposed house paints, acrylics, and fluid mediums to explore emotional states through movement, pressure, and disruption. Influenced by Pollock’s drip and pour techniques, her process favors physicality and improvisation over control. Rooted in sustainability and community exchange, her work often explores themes of resilience, emergence, and inner resistance, revealing how beauty is forged in disorder and how light finds its way through.
