Artwork
For this piece I hand-dyed cotton, muslin, burlap, and canvas fabrics. I ripped them into strips and mixed and blended dyes. Then, I dipped each strip into an archival glue and sculpted them into rose forms. I placed each form on the canvas to create the composition.
"Ocean Currents" is inspired by the subtle color flow of the ocean. The sensitive blend of blues, greens, and grays gives me a feeling of calm energy.
The piece can be easily cleaned with canned air.

Andrea Cook is a sculptor based in Phoenix, Arizona who creates wall sculptures that resemble tightly bundled roses and are inspired by the elegance and loveliness of the flower. She creates each rose from hand dyed, painted, or pure fabrics made from canvas, burlap, muslin, and cotton blends. To create her work, she rips the fabric into ribbons and dips them in a high-quality, light-fast archival glue. She then sculpts each strip into a rose form and mounts them on a gallery wrapped canvas or deep cradled birch panel. The sculptures are remarkably tactile; “everyone wants to touch the pieces,” says Andrea. And, while they appear to be soft, the roses are hard and durable.
