Everything we wanted to say, Andrew Small

Everything we wanted to say, Andrew Small

I am primarily interested in the relationship between art and design and its functions in our shared spaces,  working predominantly on site-specific projects. I have had the opportunity to collaborate with many fantastic commissioning bodies, engineers, architects, designers and communities over the last twenty-five years.

I am delighted to show a collection of projects from this period in the incomparable Egg Café gallery.

On the balcony, we are also showing a collection of works I make with my teaching colleague Fiona Stirling.

We create these pieces by exchanging ideas, workshop offcuts, found objects, demonstration outcomes, and happy accidents. Responding to our different sensibilities,  we collaborate, passing the works back and forth until we agree on the outcome.

Once described as ‘the most Bohemian place on Earth’ and ‘The Egg is a veritable garden of delights’ by one of our valued customers, The Egg is one of the last authentic eating houses in the city of Liverpool. As well as being Liverpool’s premier vegetarian/vegan restaurant, The Egg hosts an independent art gallery showcasing a broad mix of artists work and is a celebrated and vibrant meeting place.

On sunny days, light streams gloriously through the windows on to huge tables that happily accommodate large groups or individuals and friends who haven’t met yet. The relaxed and bohemian atmosphere attracts a diverse crowd and is especially popular amongst artists, students and travellers alike.
