My process is intuitive, guided by the materials themselves. I might find an iron rest that suggest a fish head or a wooden tool might echo a whale. These accidental resemblances spark the beginnings of my pieces. I love working with my hands and exploring how different materials work together to form a new figure. I aim to offer these cast-off items a second life. I hope to reveal the hidden character and charm in the broken or overlooked, creating sculptural pieces that feel both playful and\/or beautiful.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrea Maginnis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44469792211032,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0334\/1144\/files\/51FC144B-641D-4D3F-B2DC-075EC80E9C95.jpg?v=1785172200","url":"https:\/\/nesketchbook.com\/products\/andrea-maginnis-grandfather-assemblage","provider":"New England Sketch Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
