Mari Andrews is renowned for her exquisite, haiku-inspired sculptures crafted over two decades. Her signature “three-dimensional drawings” blend natural treasures like seeds, leaves, moss, and stones with sleek, man-made elements such as metal wire. These materials, often gathered during her nature walks in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Sierras, infuse her creations with a profound connection to the environment.

In her ongoing exploration, Andrews integrates earthy elements alongside tools and instruments that measure time, distance, and direction. Her works, frequently on a small scale, invite viewers into intimate, self-contained worlds, whether displayed individually or in expansive groupings. Andrews’ artistry hinges on simplicity, distilling each piece to its essential elements. This pared-down approach not only accentuates the sculptural interplay between contrasting materials but also prompts viewers to rediscover the beauty and marvels of nature, often overlooked in our busy lives.
