Connor Andersen (b.1997) is a multidisciplinary artist based in London, Ontario. His work fuses sculpture and textiles, exploring the intricate relationship between emotion and domesticity. By transforming everyday materials into evocative forms, he invites viewers to engage with the familiar in new ways.
As an artist working predominantly with textiles and sculpture, I am deeply drawn to the interplay between emotion and domesticity. My practice seeks to unravel the complexities of human experience through the tactile nature of textiles, transforming the everyday into a medium for exploration and expression.Textiles, with their rich histories and associations, serve as a powerful lens through which I examine the nuances of our lived environments. Each stitch and piece of fabric becomes a gesture, inviting contemplation of the domestic spaces we inhabit and the emotions they evoke. My work further embodies these ideas, merging form and function to create visceral experiences that resonate with the viewer.
Through my work, I strive to create a dialogue between the familiar and the abstract, encouraging introspective engagement with the objects that surround us. In this exploration, I aim to highlight the beauty in vulnerability and the profound connections forged within our domestic spheres.
Ultimately, my artistic journey is a reflection of my own experiences and emotions, inviting others to connect with their own stories and the materials that shape their lives.
