seeing time is Brook Andrew's new body of work reflecting on and abstracting the concept of time and mark-making. That is, how one perceives and hopes to either manipulate, push against or fall into time.

These paintings were created during 2021 and centre on Brook's alternative visions of time and mark-making outside the Western art canon.

This is a contribution to current challenges and dialogues around decolonisation, which is for Brook, a progression towards a state of yindyamarra-gunhanha (ongoing respect).

yindyamarra-gunhanha is a term he has developed to deal with the often challenging space of museum research and repatriation.

Brook Andrew adopts his signature black and white patterns from his Wiradjuri cultural heritage. By doing so, he reinforces the strength and cultural continuity of the Wiradjuri for himself and others.
