Andrew Backhouse

Professional Information

Andrew Backhouse is an artist who explores themes of memory and absence. His work reflects the idea that the past is never fully gone and that even events which never happened still shape our present. Rather than telling straightforward stories, Andrew uses fragments of sound, images, and text that don’t fit neatly into one narrative. Andrew doesn’t simply use found and recorded materials to document reality. Instead, he sees them as elements to reshape, layer, and present in new ways. His work avoids clear, literal interpretations, instead creating a sense of faded memories. Images appear blurred by sunlight, and themes feel more like distant recollections than precise depictions.
