Andrea Mindel (b. 1963, Brakpan, South Africa) is an interdisciplinary artist with a practice that spans technical hand embroidery positioned as fine art, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, film and performance.
Mindel’s practice investigates materiality tensioned with themes of memorialisation, trauma, disability, the medicalisation of subversive behaviours, binary patriarchal norms, intersectionality, power, discrimination and humanity in the age of live-streamed genocide, all the while contemplating the precariousness of the ecological landscapes we inhabit and our disconnection from the natural world.
Mindel offers a fragile and liminal space for contemplation, making things to make you feel.
