ANDREW BROWN

Andrew Brown is a Warrnambool based artist whose practice examines the spatial and intellectual interactions humans have to each other and their environment. A psychiatric nurse for the past fifteen years, he has developed a significant insight into the cognitive processes of the human mind, which informs his creativity. He enjoys creating art, utilising both digital and analogue techniques. Using a Polaroid SX-70 or Diana toy camera, has assisted Andrew to capture serendipitous results from poor aesthetic photography. Photographing in this way has encouraged him to compose and structure images in a measured manner. This is reflected in his digital images, rejecting the need to profusely produce images in the hope of capturing the one perfect image.
