Davis Orton Gallery - In this online exhibit, each selected artist has been asked to provide a brief statement about their work and life in the pandemic.
Claude Peschel Dutombe
‘Dreams of a Distant Place’ is an attempt to reconstruct the visuals of my childhood daydreams when my mind started wandering, driven by a politically suppressed Wanderlust while growing up behind the iron curtain of the cold war in East Berlin.
For the past 15 months all those feelings of longing for escape were brought back to me while being locked up again due to the pandemic.
Featured in this exhibition are three works from ‘Dreams of a Distant Place’.
