Welcome to this episode of Studio Sessions with guest Rob Andrews.
Rob is a performance artist whose pieces often deal with ritual and transformation. Sometimes these are rituals that he creates himself, and other times they are more or less borrowed directly from the practice or mythology of various cultures. While the pieces typically center on Rob’s experience of transformation through the process, it frequently becomes about peoples’ reaction to the pieces at the same time.
Listen as Rob explains the cultural stories and practices that inspire his works, and what he hopes to achieve through their use.
