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\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 10.7 x 7.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 10, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42097632968839,"sku":"9781597115322","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/46b51a3cf4163559da1f49d6fa8960ed.webp?v=1732354552","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/kimowan-metchewais-a-kind-of-prayer-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
