'Surface Landing' painting
Keemon Williams, Surface Landing, 2024
"This work explores the moment of contact between one world and another. An anchor-like object is seen passing through a body of light into a void of darkness. The “anchor” and its direction of travel is thrown off by an abstracted landscape. Is it diving downwards into the depths? Or is it ascending through the atmosphere? Oftentimes as First Nations people we are tasked with having to travel into spaces that are unfamiliar, or rather, unwelcoming. Yet our ability to pass through them, whilst maintaining who we are, allows us to thrive in all spaces. This work demonstrates that no matter how we move, and no matter how unclear our surroundings, we move with turbulence and pride." Keemon Williams, 2024
