The Actual Arranged, A Reliquary To Ruin, And Other Feats
davidgibsonwriting.substack.com
The work of Andrea Burgay is densely layered and seeded with oblique clues to undisclosed meaning. It does not try to be beautiful, but imposes a sense of mystery that makes it wondrous. She makes what would ordinarily be called collage, but on her own terms. The word collage itself does not do her work justice unless it’s meant as a jumping off point into versions that not only expand the genre but our ability to perceive it. She’s been making these collages for most of her life, starting in high school and college; as a private cipher to any other discipline she was learning. If she was drawing something, then in her own time she would create a collage version of it. This has led to a lifelong fascination with the possibilities and the agency of form.
