<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Andrew McPhail is a visual artist who received his MFA from York University in 1987. In his accumulative, craft-oriented practice he uses
ephemeral, disposable materials such as Band Aids, Kleenex, and Post-its to create monumental yet ephemeral sculptures, installations, and performances. Over the last decade he has been hand-stitching sequins to spell out text on pillowcases, bed sheets, and
quilts. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. He was the recipient of the Canada Council International Studio Residency in Paris in 2013 and the Nordic Artist Residency in 2023. He is the cofounder, with Stephen Altena, of the Hundred
Dollar Gallery, and a founding member of The Assembly in Hamilton, Ontario. </span>
