‘‘I am interested in weather, veils, waves, patterns, colour, light and sound. The way the ocean embodies the breathing edge of the land, where a ‘deep listening’ and attunement to these phenomena can induce a slowed down internalized state, a somatic space of what I term a ‘return and repair.’’

Exhibited internationally, Andrei Jewell’s works have featured in biennale festivals and major museums. Based on a remote island in the Gulf of Siam for over a decade , his installations and exhibitions have consistently focused on Nature as a metaphor. His primary muse being bodies of Water and in particular the Ocean, her vast abundance, mystery, moods and medicine. Weaving narratives around human relationships with the environment, cosmology and contemporary visual language, his work simultaneously explores the hidden with the audible and inaudible spectrum of soundscapes that often imperceptibly shape our identities with the world.

‘‘These pieces are primarily mute artifacts of sonic atmospheres. Visually navigating a dialogue at the nexus between the photographic and the painterly, they are essentially meditations on quietude, of the intimacy of empty spaces between moments through which the ocean bids us to slow and attend, to breath as the ocean breathes, to gaze inwardly, to dream anew.’‘
