My Local Universe
Intro
A new work by Gerard Crewdson.
"The whole country was put under severe restrictions of movement during New Zealand’s Covid 19 Level Four Lockdown. It struck me at the time, that collectively we were experiencing what has always been a daily reality for some people in our community such as people with disabilities. My own experiences of working with people with intellectual disabilities over many years had constantly taught me to do more with less, to transform limitation into possibility. These lessons have constantly informed my practice both as an artist and as a person trying to inhabit this planet as lightly as possible."
