ARC Magazine launch issue2. -'For give'

So this week ARC magazine launched it's second issue in Trinidad at Alice Yard.

It was very exciting because I finally got to meet the lovely Nadia and Holly who are the geniuses responsible for the fantastic Caribbean Arts and Culture magazine. I was interviewed for a guest profile in the magazine's first issue so I was very elated when I was asked to exhibit at the launch event.

I exhibited my piece 'For give'.

'For give' is a print installation of three small flip books that displayed images that I would call a process with many layers and with many beautiful beginnings and no ends…
The covers of the books together
read 'For give' and in the last page in the 3rd book the word 'forget was written.It is a mixed media project of layers of paint and text and photographs of the original artwork layered in prints and patterns that are symbolic. Assembled and printed on a white matte paper and spirally bound
so that the viewer can flip through the pages and leave any combination of images telling any story by the sequence of the images displayed at any moment.

I enjoyed watching people interact with the work and seeing the work of the other artist and of course meeting Holly and Nadia.

It was a great night with great vibes and a really very well attended event.BELOW: Photos of my work on display at ARC Issue 2 Launch

Working on my piece for ARC Exhibit.
Repainting and redrawing symbols and sketches
that each mean something different to me.

Beginning the layering process of the work to come.

Everything in layers. Everything's a process. Everything one day at a time...

'For give not because u expect the same from others,
but because that is what frees your spirit.'
