“The Caribbean is a region which is layered with the cultural experiences with the indigenous people. Both of these have struggled to define themselves amidst the fragmentary nature of European cultural hegemony. I want to visually explore this struggle and its impact on the physical and psychological landscape of history and memory.” I also wish to investigate and illustrate the relationship between two kinds of memory: the kind that is documented by mechanical recording devices, such as the camera, or preserved through historical materials such as maps, birth certificates, ledgers, and the kind of memory which resides in the recesses of the mind. The black and white of the photographic imagery juxtaposed with the hue and texture of the various other mediums convey the tension between these two different kinds of memory. This combination also alludes to the tension between states of being, between history and myth, and between remembering and forgetting. Photography captures time; it renders memory suspended, transfixed, and static. The process of mark making, by contrast, performs an act of imagination, or re-creation and activation in the present.
