Digital Industrial Abstract Artwork - www.andreworchard.com - AO0566.jpg

I'm an artist based in West Yorkshire, UK, working with original photography, digital construction and mixed media.

For almost three decades, I've photographed rust, peeling paint and weathered industrial surfaces, building an extensive archive that forms the foundation of my work. 

 

Through Entropy Studies and Solace, I explore this enduring fascination in two connected ways: reconstructing photographed decay digitally and creating weathered surfaces physically.

 

Entropy Studies

Constructed photographic abstractions assembled from my own images of corrosion, worn paint and industrial surfaces. Through layering and collage, overlooked fragments become unfamiliar structures and imagined relics.

Solace

Mixed-media abstractions created through an intuitive process of building, obscuring and scraping back layers of paint. Each composition develops without a fixed outcome, guided by the behaviour of the materials.
