Cortney Andrews

Born and raised in Kansas, Cortney Andrews received her BFA in Photography & New Media from the Kansas City Art Institute and her MFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

The scenarios depicted in her imagery, often rooted in traumatic experience, reveal the isolation and violence inherent in intimacy and eroticism. The staging of emotional events allows the viewer to witness the female subject actively engaging with her own internal struggles. By taking on and projecting an alter ego, the artist is able to become a participant in and spectator of this reenactment.
