As an artist who is frequently interested in learning new methods for sharing experiences, I made use of my training with ceramic media in my project The Travelers (2025), a multi-media installation that shares audio clippings of a conversation with my grandmother speaking about my  great-grandfather’s warning of keeping an eye of international news and world events happening off their home island in the 1960s. This audio is paired with clips featuring speeches from Caribbean writers, cultural historians, and leaders like Maurice Bishop, CLR James, and Fidel Castro. Each issuing their own warnings about post-colonial developments in the Caribbean region. This chorus of audio is woven together and placed with video projections I recorded of a public park in Nassau. And all these audio and video components are further enhanced through their outlets — customly designed, symmetrical ceramic canisters that I designed to project the audio.

Like my earlier projects that empower a personal iconography — e.x., my glass tanks that held hand-crafted portrait busts and arrangements of flowers suspended in water— my new ceramic sculptures share my mindset of thinking about my familial past in the present tense.

I am pleased to premier the  new multi-media installation as part of the Cayman Island’s Biennial exhibition.  It will be on view at the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands from 2 Oct, 2025- 18 Feb, 2026.

The  4th edition of the Cayman Islands Biennial, titled “Archipelago”, foregrounds the unique intersection of individual and collective roles in shaping the current moment, just as an archipelago can be viewed as both a single conglomerate entity and as hundreds of distinct islands with individual shores. Recognising the pressing need for open and constructive dialogue, this exhibition is a nexus for the open exchange of critical ideas, personal reflection, and imaginative possibilities.

The exhibition is guest curated by Davin K. Ebanks  and Joseph L. Underwood.
