In keeping with Kate Stewart’s interest in post-apocalyptic life, her latest exhibition at Vox is called Provisions, which elaborates on her imaginings of future nomadic cultures. Stewart has created a new body of paintings, which describe a world containing blankets, branches, roadside memorials, and other discarded materials that have become re-purposed and revalued. In this case, Stewart re-imagines the post-apocalyptic world as not so far in the future by responding to the uncertainty and urgency of current times as evidenced in the OCCUPY movement.
