Collection: Sandra Brewster

Sandra Brewster is a Canadian artist based in Toronto. Her work is grounded in people of the Caribbean diaspora, who maintain a relationship with back home. Born to Guyanese parents, she is interested in a sense of being that is multilayered, made up of a collision between geographies and temporalities. She expresses these complexities via the unfixed nature of her work’s materiality and presentation. 

In 2023 Brewster created the print A Detail of Feeding Trafalgar as part of Open Studio's subscription print program. The print depicts a portion of the 10 ft work and focuses on her mother’s torso. It is taken from a transfer made by Brewster to further examine and enjoy the textures of the surface that change every time an edition is created.
