The Human Landscape Through Flesh, Fire, and War – A Story of Migration. (Human shapes photographed as canvas with pigment).

Join Vincent Ward as he explores the origins of the works from the Palimpsest series: Forms reused or transformed into something new, yet carrying the ghost of their original form.

Vincent Ward is a New Zealand artist and award-winning, internationally recognised filmmaker.  He is known for his ability to convey powerful emotional and psychological-charged experiences, often delving into themes of transformation, the human condition, and the intersection of spirituality and reality. He creates psychologically and emotionally evocative metaphorical landscapes, deeply rooted in personal experience, the past, and memory. His works function as palimpsests, where multiple layers have been placed and erased over time, leaving faint traces that reveal layers of meaning, transformation, and historical narratives beneath the surface.
