Andie McGovern (also known by her ancestral name, iYang Faderog) is a visionary Filipino-Australian artist, writer and polymath whose practise bridges metaphysical visual art, symbolic writing, and cultural philosophy. Working across time, grief, memory, and recursive intelligence, her work confronts ego, colonial trauma, and identity through a layered language of paradox, satire, and sacred truth.

Her practice is rooted in the Bantoanon ethic of Pakikipagkapwa tao — the living principle of shared inner self — and expands across interdisciplinary forms including interactive sculptures, jewellery assemblage, semiotic essays, and decolonial frameworks.

Her current project, ‘Mirror, Mirror on the Wall’ is a major body of work in development — a nine-part gold mirror portraiture series exploring ego, shadow, and individuation through Kapwa and Jungian philosophy.

Through her Codex and Philosophical writings, she is also developing a series of new intelligence frameworks that challenges psychometric based epistemologies and centres symbolic cognition as a living truth system.

Recognised for her high academic standing (GPA 6.25), her writings, artworks, and original frameworks have been described as prophetic, recursive, and fiercely intelligent. She is currently completing her debut book, ‘Someone Pour ME A Kapwa Tea’— a creative and philosophical compendium of her visual practice and metaphysical inquiry.
