Andrea La Valleur-Purvis is a British-American sculptor and designer whose work explores human connection, belonging and resilience. Her sculptural work scale form pedestal to beyond life-size, embraces a play of abstract patterns, geometric and architectural forms. Her sculptural work begins by defining shapes, mass, void, and texture into thoughtful compositions. The elements are often hard-edge and dimensional shapes, changing in perspective as the viewer moves around the work. Combined with welding and other modern fabrication methods, this approach fosters a play of geometric and architectural forms. These elements further support themes of interconnection and the creation of new patterns through the combination of three or more shapes. At the same time, La Valleur-Purvis' practice as an artist leverages the transformative power of heating this seemingly unyielding material— steel — resonating with the resilience of human life. This interplay emphasizes the artist's belief in our inherent endurance, a vigor that surpasses what we might initially imagine.
