“Else” is a striking Jordan Turner artwork — a 40×72 inch oil on canvas painting that confronts the layered history of settler identity and land transformation. In this large-format piece, Turner blends childhood innocence with industrial expansion, creating a compelling narrative of cultural tension. This work is part of the artist’s acclaimed Unsettled series.
At first glance, a child in prairie dress stands calmly in a golden field — a nostalgic echo of colonial imagery. But behind her, a darker reality unfolds: oil rigs, horses plowing through city silhouettes, and an aggressively red sky. Turner masterfully re-contextualizes vintage settler photographs, crafting a contemporary visual critique that contrasts innocence with expansionism.
This piece is part of Jordan Turner’s ongoing exploration into how settler culture overwrites and occupies space — physically, culturally, and spiritually. The work is both a statement and a question: What does it mean to belong to a land you have inherited through occupation?
“Else” captures a moment both specific and symbolic — drawing from turn-of-the-century photo archives, Turner bridges personal memory and collective narrative. This piece invites deeper reflection on how history is visualized, erased, or reimagined through art.
Collectors drawn to works on identity, history, and post-colonial critique will find “Else” both visually compelling and intellectually rich. It holds tremendous presence as a standalone showpiece and complements Turner’s broader Unsettled series.
