Robert Andrade explores the values and meaning embedded in structures and symbols within the built environment often using industrial materials and construction methods evocative of urban spaces and various landscape typologies. Andrade is also interested in how humans intervene in the natural world, imposing order and artifice on raw wild life. He works in many different mediums both digital and tangible. This includes sculpture, photography, digital collage, drawing, sound and more recently landscape design. Robert enjoys collaborative projects at all scales and currently lives and works in Oakland, CA.
