Concept:

Andromeda Strain explores how material and process can reflect unseen systems of presence, disruption, and transformation. Layered etching, hand-embroidery, varied textures, and repeated marks accumulate gestures that trace the tension between control and unpredictability. Burnishing, biting, and reworking the plate become forms of observation, turning the etching’s materiality into a space to explore vulnerability and the subtle forces operating beneath perception.
