Andrea Eimke - a journey back in time
In my present life...
... my art is based on a synthesis of Polynesian and European materials and techniques, inspired by my life on Atiu.
Currently...
...my installation "Third Space II" forms part of the international Lace Award competition exhibition "Love Lace" at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney. The exhibition was opened on the 29th of July 2011 and will run for two years.

In my third life...
... at the age of 58, I became a student again. I enroled in post-graduate studies offered in the Cook Islands and online by Auckland University of Technology (AUT, New Zealand). In my thesis "[Liminal Space]" I investigated material and non-material boundaries and their space in between. My final exhibition, the site-specific installation "[Third Space]", was held at the Mission House of the Takamoa Theological College on Rarotonga (Cook Islands) in February 2010. In June 2010, I was awarded the Master of Art and Design.
