About Andrew Hayim-de Vries Andrew Hayim-de Vries,
a practicing artist, lives and works in 100 Hubble. As an artist, Andrew's
focus is on exploring his cultural roots. 100 Hubble is included as one
of his many 'projects', the 'Homeware' Project. Some would say that his
'project' is rather a life long obsession. Over the past 18 years, the
local arts community, art students, friends and neighbours have helped
Andrew to create his vision of an eclectic, environmentally friendly house
made from 'urban rubble'. This rubble includes building material (like
wooden decking), interior decorations (to the frosted glass door from
the Fremantle Club), exterior decorations (such as awnings from the much
loved Gino's Cafe), to dolls, toys and trinkets left by neighborhood children,
in 'Lola', the container, now decorating the exterior of 100 Hubble. All
these items trigger memories, of childhood, melding together a sense of
play and exploration, to that of the local Fremantle history. In 1977 Andrew graduated with a BA (Fine Art) from Western Australian University of Technology (now Curtin University of Technology). Over the years, Andrew has accumulated a vast teaching experience. From 1980 to 1997 he has worked lecturing in numerous positions in different institutions, including Claremont Art School, Curtin University and Metropolitan City College. Andrew's positions have included Lecturer in Drawing, Painting, Lecturer in Painting, Artist in Residence, Tutor in Printmaking, Drawing, to Painting Tutor at Casurina Prison. Travel has been an important influence on his artwork and philosophies. He has traveled to Kashmir, India, Thailand, New Zealand, Israel, Central and Eastern Europe, amongst other places. Some of these influences are a strong presence in 100 Hubble Accommodation. Andrew's artwork is
represented in the following collections: Art Gallery of Western Australia,
Curtin University of Technology, University of Western Australia, Edith
Cowan University, Holmes-à-Court Collection, Wesfarmers Collection, Artbank
and private collections (Australia and overseas).
