Honolulu
Tom participated in “20 going on 21”: Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Present, Looking to the Future- An Exhibition of Contemporary Hawaii’s Artists honoring the 20th anniversary at the Contemporary Museum of Honolulu. 20 artists were selected from a very competitive pool of submissions by three jurors, Melissa Chiu, Director, Asia Society Museum and Vice President, Global Art Programs, Asia Society, New York, New York; Lawrence Rinder, Director, of The Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas.
The museum selected two of Sewell’s works. ”I can no longer remain silent”, a controversial mixed media anti-war statement (rejected by Art Maui the previous year-featuring the faces of 3,000 American troops killed in Iraq). And a special edition of “Enigma of the Mill” shown on three 42 flat inch plasma video screens attached to the wall in a special room of the gallery. The Enigma piece was a scaled down version of the magestic 2006 one-man show at the Schaefer International Gallery at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center.
