Take Me Away by Nicky Hamilton

Issue 123

Take Me Away depicts the life and times of Canton House, a Chinese take away which opened in the UK in the early 60’s by the Yau family after emigrating from Hong Kong in search of a better life. The 15 piece tableau portrays a melting pot of modern day Britain exploring culture, class and the lonely act of waiting.

Nicky Hamilton lives and works in London, England.
