Andrew Young’s poetic improvisations are a synthesis of the deliberate gestures of painting and the random incidents cultivated by collage. Imbued in his enigmatic layers of geometric designs and floral imagery is an inescapable sense of history, evoked through the weary surfaces of his hand-made papers which create hushed, intimate spaces for meditation.
