Expanded Dreaming features artwork that merges Indigenous sensibilities with transnational aesthetics. Key themes include the travelling pilgrim, wandering mendicant, and open-air market as a central metaphor. Reflecting capitalism's assemblage, the exhibition draws parallels to how Indigenous artists have historically adapted modern materials like synthetic paint to reframe and innovate traditional ideas. It highlights how the unfamiliar becomes familiar and restoration transforms into a creative process.
