ImMigration is a collaborative project that asked artists to respond to the complicated and layered themes around migration as part of unique visual exploration.

Each participating artist created at least one 15” right-angle triangular print responding to their personal reaction to the theme. The triangles are pieced together, regardless of orientation, to create a large mosaic. This collaboration explores creative participation while visually presenting a conceptual migration of interpretations as each individual becomes part of the whole.The new iteration of ImMigration at SHG presents a 3D installation of Paper Boat, prints that interpret the theme of water. Water has long been an exciting subject for printmakers to interpret and there are many thematic designs depicted in the work. The fragility of the paper boats is significant as well in context to the island identity, one noted for resourcefulness and for the respect of water that defines its edges and boundaries.
