About this artwork
Push Button depicts a nostalgic 70's push button\ phone with an over long extension cord. Andrew’s artwork recontextualized objects from his childhood and pop culture to explore how, along with being formative to his identity, they hover between consumerism and personal memory. The old phone represents a pre-digital time when communication was analog and tethered to a room or place. Contrasting the lack of freedom of mobility to present day pressures…
of constantly posting a perfect curated lifestyle which becomes an irrecoverable condition.
