My current practice explores anomalies on otherwise mundane surfaces. During and immediately after my recent MA, this related specifically to cracks and voids present on brick walls to buildings of local historical significance in Bridgnorth. Apart from their allusions to past events, I see these as real world examples of the deformations to planar gridded space discussed by John Rajchman in his book Constructions; that is, intensive intrusions which seem to come from nowhere but which might take one somewhere.

Stephen Andrews lives in Bridgnorth and works from studios there and at Eagle Works Studios in Wolverhampton. Having felt compelled to make art since childhood, he has put aside a career in architecture to commit fully to his art practice and completed an MA in Fine Art at the University of Wolverhampton in 2021.
