Andie James is an Australian interdisciplinary artist based in London. Her work spans painting, photography, and digital art, exploring the physical and emotional residues we leave behind as we share space with strangers. Incorporating these elements, she creates happenstance portraits that reflect the collective aesthetic and cultural values around her.

James is interested in our need to express and locate ourselves within a wider social fabric. She sees fragments, discarded objects, decontextualised images, street posters, and digital leftovers as shared expressions rather than isolated statements about our individual lives. Using methods such as image transfer, collage, digital manipulation, and painting, she merges materials collected through both analogue and digital processes. These include found wooden panels, salvaged street posters, discarded photos, receipt-printer outputs, digital scans, and oil paint. Through this hybrid approach, James builds textured surfaces that operate as living archives.

At GlogauAIR, James is collecting and reimagining residue to form collective portraits. Fragments will be printed, displayed, scrapbooked, and archived across screens, installations, and paintings. She will also initiate opportunities for co-authorship through interactive digital platforms, encouraging participants to exchange digital clutter.
