Sandra Brewster’s gestural portraits made with photo-based gel transfers function as a metaphor for movement or change from one place to another, specifically in reference to the migration of the artist’s parents and their peers
who left Guyana for Toronto in the late 1960s.

Sandra Brewster is a Canadian visual artist based in Toronto. She engages with themes including identity, representation, and memory, centering a Black presence. Her meditations on being and place are expressed within her drawings, video, and photo-based mixed media works.
