I come from the West, East, North and South, a combination of light and dark, the triangle finds itself complicated in my blood. This manifests itself in ways that turns the inner workings of place, space and belonging inside out. My work investigates through visual and textual juxtapositions the issue of identity, politics, and place, (or in many ways something more intrinsic to the sensitive nature of the post-colonized Anglophone Caribbean). It makes connections between historical associations that are guided by ritual, language and cultural identity dispersed throughout the archipelago. The sea and the discourse of its violence, displacing tides and triangle trade are dissected; relations materialize between the abstract and the tangible, in self-conscious and suggestive ways. Explicit histories expand to reveal futile attempts that preserve and scrutinize the memory of loss and promise.


Spanning the mediums of Photography, Video and Writing, my practice confronts the nomadic journey of the displaced who intermingle and reside in the “homeless” metropolitan. Through assemblages, genealogical research and mining of archival imagery, the work interrogates and highlights the tension between past and present. The question of kinship, and of finding oneself “in between” becomes a metaphor for the marooned and uprooted. This inevitable retreat into the past becomes a path by which to explore the fragments of souls given voice again to elaborate on territory, on the encircling salt that courses through veins, and on the ever slowly traveling being back and forth wondering within waves.
