What Kind of Collage is That?
Katie Blake, Whatapageturner Press, 2023
Featuring more than 270 collage techniques and processes with definitions or descriptions from the artists and historians, What Kind of Collage is That? includes the term “Regenerative” for Andrea Burgay’s work.
“Regenerative: This term is from artist Andrea Burgay for her technique and process utilizing both deconstruction and reconstruction - creating a full lifecycle of the materials. According to the artist, "this relates to something being reborn or grown again."368 She explains further that the process is ‘a spiritual renewal or revival. I think of giving a new life to an object or material as a way to bring the past, and the unwanted and overlooked, into the present in a new form -a sort of revival or resurrection’.”

POSIT: A Journal of Literature and Art
Posit 30, May 17, 2022.
“By preserving the shapes and structures of the books whose covers and pages she deconstructs for her sculptural collages, Andrea Burgay reorders and builds upon their ruins to reconstruct new artifacts of singular energy and intensity. Mysterious, disturbing, and ultimately inspiring, the works in this series comment upon and take flight from our literary legacy - from anonymous vintage paperbacks to Dante's Purgatorio and Shakespeare's plays - to engage the limitations and potential of verbal narrative. Peeling open and exploding the problematics of the past - the very "rhetoric and false decoration" identified by T.S. Eliot and incorporated into the title of one of these works - these complex and probing artifacts uncover and create fragmented and elusive glimpses of the multitude of futures our problematic past might seed.”
