A virtual art gallery of original artwork by artists and designers and their interpretation of some of Barbados’ traditional folk characters reborn in a modern setting. Collaborated on with Artists Alliance and Oneka Small.
Nutseller for me represents a woman who has found her independence and strength through her work and her resilience through the years. Her hair as an Afro represents her confidence, her refusal to fall victim of status quo and her willingness to be uniquely her and free of dependence on others, but to provide for herself. The grey represents the wisdom she has attained through time. The red of her basket shows that she is still fiery and the lines of her face each a memory of story and a hardship she survived. And in spite of all her struggles the blue of her shirt shows she has found peace with life.
