Her recent paintings engage with the sea. 'Wave', 'influx', 'flood', 'stream', 'flow'. These are words that describe the forms of water represented here. At once quintessential subjects for painting but also words that have entered contemporary political and social discourse to describe patterns of global migration.
India Dewar's series of pictures actualises these figures of speech into visual form, exploring the dehumanising effect of metaphor through strange and unsettling images
The passage from Virginia Woolf’s ‘The Waves’ that introduces this exhibition, echoes the elements at play in these small but impactful paintings.
