At the center of his practice is an extensive Polaroid archive, which addresses a range of themes—including the artist’s body, performative self-portraiture, language, landscapes, and everyday subjects—and served as the source material for works in other media, such as painting and collage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetchewais’s exquisitely layered works offer a poetic meditation on his connection to home and land, while challenging conventional narratives and representations of Indigeneity. Metchewais was a contemporary artist of stunning originality, and until now, his work has been woefully understudied and underexposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Kind of Prayer\u003c\/em\u003e is a comprehensive overview that showcases this essential artist’s astonishing vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith texts by Christopher T.
