Visual Works
Creations by Andrew in various visual media.
I am constantly creating visual works. Most are sculptural, often a simple concept but requiring significant labor. Some are software. NOTE: Many of these are only a single highlight from a project. Click through to find more on some works in context. Also see my Music and Projects pages.
