STATEMENT
Born of gestures quiet or fierce, these artworks embody isolated experiences, moments where the viewer and the maker come together at an object- and the object falls away. George Andrews exploits the inherent qualities of materials to enhance dynamic mark-making. His approach to art is informed by the idea of expressing consciousness in each stroke, fold, or tear, and a questioning of our perception of the world around us.
I am currently designing and encouraging a Recovery Model Art Project at the University of Virginia Medical Center, Inpatient Psychiatry.

Psychological recovery or recovery model or the recovery approach to mental disorder or substance dependence emphasizes and supports a person's potential for recovery that involves the development of new meaning and purpose in one's life as one grows beyond the catastrophic effects of mental illness.
