artist statement

Andy Chitty is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice includes sculpture, installation, and object-based work. His work destabilises hierarchies of identity, institutional power, and social performativity. It confronts the systems that present themselves as natural.

He is interested in how these systems shape meaning, and how that meaning can be poked at, teased, and disrupted. His objects behave in ways that unsettle, provoke, or amuse, depending on where the viewer stands. Ultimately, the work resists resolution. It stays in tension and presses against the systems people move through without question.
