About The Artwork
This paper cutting was created during the first few weeks of the COVID 19 lockdown when feelings of isolation and confusion were prevalent. I wanted to capture the sense of us all being in this together despite being separated in our own home bubble and not being allowed out. I also wanted to show the diversity of people here in Dubai celebrating different religious festivals in their own homes such as Easter and Ramadan. Religious festivals usually involve large gatherings, friends and family celebrating together, however this year was so very different. Yet we were able to connect via the internet, invisible connections, wifi electromagnetic waves that allow smiles, tears and comfort to travel along it. This is represented by the pentagonal geometry connecting houses, businesses, families, people across time and space. Juxtaposed between the homes are the iconic buildings of Dubai including the Burj Khlaifa and Burj Al Arab. These tall towers that represent money, business, enterprise and innovation used here as a symbol of such things in a very different context as our lockdown lives have been forced innovate and change the way we work, meet and communicate. This framed original artwork is ready to hang with two wall hooks on the back. Please note that it is framed with clear glass which reflects the light and objects in the room and can be seen as such in the photos provided.

The order and perfection of geometry captured me from the moment my father put a compass in my hand, at the age of 4. Geometry often appears in my art and for me, it can be a symbol of order, structure and rules. To juxtapose fragments of perfectly formed geometry beside intuitive mark making, abstract swirls of colour or photo layered images and drawings fills me with a sense of satisfaction as it somehow mirrors our lives - a multiplicity of seemingly random events that may have some order beneath. Often, my artwork has a deeper symbolic narrative that allows it to almost be read and understood on a variety of levels. Certain geometric shapes and designs can be seen to have symbolic meaning in Islamic art, I sometimes use this to build in a deeper layer of symbolism into my work. Having lived the first part of my life in the diverse island of Trinidad, in the caribbean, I am drawn to vivid colours and textures, perhaps somehow harking back to the colours of carnival. Yet my personal studies into Islamic, Euclidean and non Euclidean geometry have opened up a world of psychological and spiritual symbology that has allowed me to explore bigger themes such as order and chaos; predetermination and freedom; intuition and reason.
