Andy Brayman

In 2005, Andy founded The Matter Factory in Kansas City. It is part artist studio, part laboratory, and part factory. In addition to producing objects of his design, the company contains a collaborative element where he helps other artists produce their designs. His own work is a combination of traditional craft, industrial processes, and contemporary art strategies.
