Sculpture and Functional Objects
Andrea Wendel (b. 1960 Lebanon, Pennsylvania) explores textures and forms to create a narrative which is abstract and metaphoric. Wendel’s sculptural work tells stories of womanhood, while her functional sculpture changes the story of the object and transforms its identity beyond it function.
Using wood, metal, and an assortment of mixed media she emulates textural elements found in nature, as well as applies artistic traditions of indigenous cultures.
Wendel studied Illustration at Moore College of art, Philadelphia, PA, Attended Del Ray Tech School for welding, Del Ray Beach, FL, and continued education in wood working and sculpture at Anderson Ranch Art Center, Snowmass, CO.
The artist has participated in shows, at the Forre Gallery, Aspen, CO (Solo Show), The Art Base, Basalt, CO (Solo Show) Magidson Gallery, Aspen, CO.( 2-person Show), DeBilzan Gallery, Santa Fe, NM, Anderson Ranch Art Center, Snowmass, CO. Woody Creek Gallery, Woody Creek, CO.
