Andrea Roe's work examines the nature of human and animal biology, behaviour and communication and is designed to awaken experiences of wonder in nature, science and folklore.
Several art residencies have allowed her to access different types of institutions ranging from the Wellcome Trust to the Crichton Psychiatric Hospital and most recently the National Museums of Scotland, where she developed work in response to research projects and collections. Through photography, film and installation, Roe attempts to translate scientific research on the psychology of animal behaviour into artworks that are experienced physically as unfamiliar, visceral sensory encounters.
 

Andrea Roe studied Fine Art at Edinburgh and Chelsea Colleges of Art.
