Home, in time.
Join us in celebrating a body of work that's sailed across the Pacific, walked the streets of New York, frozen in Iceland, and smuggled back home through countless airports in a surfboard bag.
Traditionally captured atmosphere in the form of "plein air" paintings. Christopher Dews continues his conversation on the impact of colonisation across indigenous people. This time internationally.
From the once beautiful lagoons in the Pacific to the frozen soil in Iceland. Careless colonial construction has left our lands contaminated with sewage and pesticides from soil erosion. Exposing urban youth to high rates of unemployment, malnutrition, disease, and overcrowding.
History will advise us where someone has improved a situation or made it worse everywhere we go. This art exhibition is about finding a home in your time. Knowing, wherever you are in the world, every decision you have ever made has led you to this exact moment. This becomes your blank canvas, a chance to affect your surrounding environment positively or negatively.
