Peace Room, 2017 -- Like ocean currents, peace is disrupted by manmade and natural forces acting upon our daily lives. It leaves us with the choice to either wade through the troubled waters until we've reached our next peaceful destination or actively fight the reality that conflict is inevitable. With the understanding that we may always be subjected to ride waves of turmoil, we can demand that it be brief. This flag serves as a reminder to work together in consistently making peace. #flagsofpeace #flags #peace #ulricandarly #barbados

2014frames

Edinburgh College of Art graduate Alberta Whittle has provided 2014Frames with two separate selections, the first of these being a focus on photography from the Caribbean. Colour and texture clearly come into play here as the photographers provide us with an insight into what Alberta refers to as “A hybridised culture, where globalisation has ensured cross fertilisation across territories..” These vivid, dynamic images have an ability to grab attention immediately, encouraging us to look deeper into the stories contained within.

That's me sitting next to Amanda Coulson (Art Critic, Curator, Director of The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, Co-founder of VOLTA Art Fair) and artists Blue Curry and Heino Schmid at our panel talk last Friday during Transforming Spaces I'm still processing this amazing experience. It was extra special that it all happened in a place where I spent a big chunk of my childhood. I'm grateful to have reconnected with Nassau and the sea of inspiring people involved in Transforming Spaces Photo courtesy of Curator/Writer Nicole Smythe-Johnson who also gave a solid talk that night.

Mossless launched exactly five years ago. It’s our birthday!

I’ll be honest with you—-the first few years weren’t easy. I had to forget about stats, notes, reblogs, and so on, and just make content. I knew that we needed to stay productive. I made the interview-every-two-days rule just so that I...

Happy Birthday Mossless. You look great.

Next month I head back to Nassau for the first time in a decade to participate in Transforming Spaces at Liquid Courage Gallery.

It's a homecoming of sorts. I grew up in Nassau between the ages of 7 and 12. This is the place where I signed up for my first art lessons, exhibited for the first time, learned how to play tennis/baseball/basketball, and where I cultivated my first crush(es).

I'll be home April 2-6. Let's hang out.
