Andrée invites you to view the forest as a point of departure rather than a template. Her primary intention is to explore the emotional and physical language of forms found in the natural world. She seeks to capture the initial sensation of discovery. By collecting impressions of leaves and plant life, she works to extract and expand the inherent character of her subjects. Every Narrative she builds is intended to create a visual language shaped by memory and intuition. She aims to move the Work beyond its origin: allowing the natural form to exist as something independent and evocative.
