Andy Holden turns personal memories, everyday objects, and ephemeral moments into immersive investigations of perception, time, and the human experience. His work spans sculpture, large-scale installations, painting, performance, animation, and multi-screen video, often using intimate starting points to pose broader philosophical questions.
