About this artwork
This is a mixed-media collage-painting hybrid on canvas. The piece is could be read as a mediation on time and transformation - frequently recurring themes in the artist's work. Images of archaeological finds from the colonial period are juxtaposed with photos of analogous artifacts from the near modern and contemporary periods, suggesting the ways in which our daily lives are palimpsests of the lives of our ancestors.

« In the maelstrom of images that assault our eyes every day, we can find patterns and narratives of our own truths, our own temples of freedom and possibility. »
Gavin Sewell is a painter, printmaker, and sculptor based in Canada whose works have been exhibited in the United States. He describes his intricate and multilayered collages as celebrating the "complexity and nuance of a world teeming with meaning, signs, and symbols". In his artistic practice, Sewell joins the realm between narration and hypnotic suggestion, implying half-seen stories of the absurd, the paradoxical, and the hopeful.
