Andrea Mindel

"I am a multi-disciplinary artist based in the UK, currently obsessed with embroidery. My practice addresses themes of social injustice, grief and mourning within the context of climate crisis, illness and genocide. I use my work to advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community and other under-represented voices.

I embroider with conscience – one stitch at a time – creating materiality through the repetitive motion of stitch. My work pays tribute to, memorialises and honours difficult narratives." Andrea Mindel
