Underlying States, 2014

Underlying States is a series of four drawings by the artist collective, The New BC Indian art and Welfare Society Collective (NBCIAWSC), formed in 2013. The drawings were produced for the City of Vancouver's "Year of Reconciliation" public art program and exhibited in bus shelters across the city in May and June of 2014. Underlying States examines the Christian concept of hypostasis, which speaks to the underlying substance, or state, of all things.
