SUMMARY:Altered: Exploring the Artwork of Patrick Andrews
DESCRIPTION:I have learned to look at a piece of material and \,in addition to seeing it for what it was\, seeing what it could become. I believe that is a primary goal of art. To teach us to look past the surface of\, not just a piece of art\, a person or situation\, and see\, not just who or what it is\, but what they or it can become.”\n -Patrick Andrews \nPatrick’s work consists of as many repurposed objects as possible and his work with metal ranges from the whimsical to the traditional. He uses patinas and cut shapes to explore surface\, scale and space in a way that alters his materials into works of poetic beauty. \nHours: Mon 9-1\, Tues-Sat 10-4
