Meet the Toronto-based artist Sandra Brewster, as she talks about her solo exhibition By Way Of Communion at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery.
The exhibition Sandra Brewster: By Way of Communion presents two new commissions including the first public sculpture by Sandra Brewster. The two works, DENSE and A Place to Put Your Things, offer different facets of the artist’s practice while addressing themes of place and belonging.
As first-generation Canadians, stories passed down from parents and loved ones give us a sense of belonging to a place in which we have never lived. These stories help us intuitively connect to the land, a history, and people that ingrain us with a sense of self far better than any label could convey.
Sandra Brewster is a Canadian visual artist based in Toronto. She engages with themes including identity, representation, and memory, centring a Black presence. The daughter of Guyanese-born parents, she is especially attuned to the experiences of people of Caribbean heritage and their ongoing relationships with back home. Brewster’s meditations on being and place are expressed within her drawings, video, and photo-based mixed media works that range from 2-dimensional pieces to installations that incorporate the architecture of spaces.
