“Jon Gott’s Foreign Correspondent is a journey both exotic and familiar, an exploration of travel, the meaning of home and the devestating beauty of everyday objects.” 

Through sculptural assemblages and found-object vignettes, Gott constructs a fictional island whose ecology, artifacts, and cultural narratives blur the boundary between the seen and the unseen, the foreign and the familiar. The result is a sensitive interrogation of how we carry places within us—and how we package their essence for consumption.
