Dani Andrée is a Naarm (Melbourne) based artist and PhD candidate at RMIT University. She has an interest in the way that functional, everyday spaces enter our conscious awareness. Suspended time, endurance, function and the direction of movement are strategically employed to examine the ontological qualities of and relations between matter and bodies. Her current research creates the conditions for dialogical relations between plant growth and artistic action. This undertaking provides a counterpoint to instrumentalist ways of interacting with plant life.
