Andrea Hauer

July 17, 2017 3:14 PM \

Andrea Hauer was born in Chile and lives and works in Madrid, Spain. The visual and mixed media artist creates “low-tech” contemporary pieces recycling materials, images, and experiences. She is “obsessed with time, process, changes, memory, traces and thinks that used materials “carry” memories. She believe, as an artist, that we should use what surrounds us, these being experiences, materials and/or objects.”

You can see more of her work on her website, Twitter and Instagram. She sells a few pieces in her Etsy shop, Hauering.

Admiring the exquisite work of hand embroidery artist and writer, Alice Makabe. Typical of Japan very little information can be found on the Tokyo-based artisan. However, much of her work can be viewed on her blog, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
