Andrea Meacham is a multidisciplinary artist working in Naarm, so-called Melbourne, Australia.
They act as a medium for her own life, transmuting emotionally charged past experiences into material and aural installations, revealing tender inner worlds laced with magical dreaming, comedy and horror-ennui.
By drawing on cinema, pop culture, music, mythology, and the occult, Andrea examines contemporary anxieties about fragility, shame, and grief.
Andrea graduated with a Master of Fine Art from RMIT in 2020 and received the Vice-Chancellor's Award for Academic Excellence and the Lowenstein Arts Management Prize. They presented their first solo exhibition ('Like a heartbeat drives you mad') in 2022 at Seventh Gallery, Naarm Melbourne, supported by a City of Yarra project grant; their second solo ('Tear Jerker') in 2024 with Cool Change Contemporary in Walyalup Fremantle; and an upcoming solo with Bus Projects, Naarm in August 2026. Andrea has participated in group exhibitions, notably with the artist collective FILTH at Cementa 2026 (’The song of rubber and fur’) and with Elevator Gallery in Lismore in 2023 ('Ultra Terrestrial'). They completed a residency in 2025 with Yellow Brick in Athens, Greece, and in 2024 with the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art (PICA). Andrea was selected as a finalist in the Emerging Artist Award (fortyfivedownstairs, 2021). Additionally, she was an Ensemble member of the 'Twiddle Fiddle and Tune' project with Prue Stevenson and Next Wave (2024); they illustrated covers for poetry anthologies ('No More Poetry', 2023) and facilitated critical reading groups ('Collapse', 2020—2022).
