          In 2004, Charles Avery embarked on what will be a lifelong project titled The Islanders: a painstakingly detailed immersive investigation of the fabric and possibilities of another place.

          Through drawings, texts and objects Avery describes the inhabitants, architecture, philosophies, customs and idiosyncrasies of this imagined territory.

           

          With accents of the Scottish Hebrides and East London, the Island is situated at the centre of an archipelago of 'innumerable constituents'.

          Its capital is the port city of Onomatopoeia: originally a stepping off point for pioneers and travellers, turned bustling boomtown, turned citadel, turned depression ravaged slum, turned regenerated city of culture. It has many eras, and sculptural objects and printed matter from this strange land are often presented as incongruous but familiar interventions into our own world.

           

          Elements of the project have recently been exhibited at the 16th Istanbul Biennial (2019),the Kochi-Muziris Bie
