Andrew J Burford is a queer artist who was raised in Cape Town, South Africa and currently resides in Berlin. After completing his degree in London he moved to Australia where he developed his practice. Andrew has since spoken and been exhibited internationally in the USA, Australia, Germany, Venezuela and the United Kingdom. Through the use of multimedia Andrew uses his practice to seek an understanding of the fractured modes of being within cultures of masculine display and the construction of white masculinity, both historically and in contemporarily.
