Andrea Zittel was born in 1965 in Escondido, California, and currently lives and works in Joshua Tree, CA. She received a BFA in painting and sculpture in 1988 from San Diego State University and an MFA in sculpture in 1990 from the Rhode Island School of Design. Zittel works at the intersections of design, art, and architecture to create a body of work that questions human nature and our construction of meaning, values, and social norms. Through textiles, furniture, and installation, the artist places self-imposed systems, rules, and restrictions in order to imagine alternative ways of living.
