Other Plans is pleased to present an exhibition of new and recent works by
Katrina Andry.
Opening Reception: October 18, 5-8pm.
It’s easy to react on a visceral level to the color and content in Katrina Andry’s work, to be amazed at the technical brilliance, because she is drawing figures into wood with a sharp knife, passing paper multiple times through a giant press that fills the ground floor of her Mid-City double. But in the work are lessons and corrections about a painful history that is still underway.

Born in New Orleans, LA, Katrina Andry challenges the ideology of individualism by examining inequalities and resulting degradation as the result of our color-based prejudices. She argues the belief in individualism allows Americans to turn a blind eye to inequality, suggesting barriers to well-being lie with the individual and not also within our social structures, in spite of documentation of the collective experiences of these groups and data on the outcomes of disfavored groups.
Andry earned an MFA in Printmaking from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA. She has participated in exhibitions at the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah, NY, and Marc Straus Gallery, New York, NY, as well as had solo exhibitions at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art in Charleston, SC, and the Hammonds House Museum in Atlanta, GA. In 2021, Andry was a participating artist in Prospect.5. Andry’s work can be found in the prominent art collections of 21c Museum, Saint Louis, MO, the Petrucci Family Foundation, the New Orleans Museum of Art, Union College, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, LA. Andry currently lives and works in New Orleans where she maintains a studio.
