Yard Cafe/Buddhist Centre is delighted to present Surigao Son Shine, an exhibition from artist Francis Olvez-Wilshaw. Olvez-Wilshaw's new solo exhibition explores the fractured relationship between his dual heritage of British and Filipino.
About
By working through fragments taken from both memory and lived experience, Olvez-Wilshaw enlarges, twists and reimagines furniture and boat hulls from the Philippines with western influences that range from British post-war sculpture and Roman Catholic regality.
Representations of power and imperialism give way to reproductions of a rural, domestic Filipino identity- an identity that slips and falls between the fictional and real.
