As an emerging visual artist living and working in Barbados I have great concern for the threat posed to the disappearance of our tangible and intangible heritage. As a result, I have deliberately embarked on a body of work which seeks to explore the juxtaposition between traditional and contemporary activities across generations, which are at great risk of disappearing from our cultural landscape based on the threat that global acculturation poses to our Barbadian aesthetic, identity, society and cultural preservation. Thus, in my renderings one may reference particular symbolic or semiotic gestures of the Barbadian Wind Mill which use to be some 510 strong at the height of our period of British Colonial slavery during the 1800s, also, one may see, if you look carefully at the piece, ghostly monochromatic renderings of women with baskets or field labourers from time to time, or the fact that milestones, which once served to measure statute miles, have now become obsolete with no real attempts at preserving them. Finally, I also seek to preserve some sense of our traditional Barbadian aesthetic and architecture, through my art, by making symbolic references and repetition to our Bajan Chattel House and its beautiful decorative fret work which has now largely disappeared within a contemporary Barbadian concrete jungle. In addition to this, I also make actual paintings of our current landscape through the process of En Plein Air Painting.
