At the center of his practice is an extensive Polaroid archive, which addresses a range of themes--including the artist's body, performative self-portraiture, language, landscapes, and everyday subjects--and served as the source material for works in other media, such as painting and collage. Metchewais's exquisitely layered works offer a poetic meditation on his connection to home and land, while challenging conventional narratives and representations of Indigeneity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMetchewais was a contemporary artist of stunning originality, and until now, his work has been woefully understudied, -published, and -exhibited. \u003ci\u003eA Kind of Prayer\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive overview that showcases this essential artist's astonishing vision. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Aperture","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45029746966679,"sku":"9781597115322","price":5505.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781597115322.webp?v=1768542586","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/kimowan-metchewais-some-kind-of-prayer-9781597115322","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
