Enter the Dragon
With thanks to Bruce Lee for the name of this, it's my visual expression of the bind the world finds itself: squeezed between the dying embers of "Shock and Awe" and the growling menace of "Belt and Road". Is this a kite of a dragon the warrior parades through the forests of Britain or a real dragon dragging a warrior?

Searching for the Waterfall
The title referrs to my vain search for a waterfall somewhere in the bush in Trinidad. Britain has a cler idea of its countryside...It's a Wordsworthian place of lambs gambolling beside purring brooks and clear flowing streams that meander through an endless plain of gently rolling downsm all bathed in a dappled lit, vernal setting. There are ancient castles and grand houses and pomp and circumstance and let's never mention slavery. In Trinidad, we have no such countryside. We have bush. Dark, dense, teeming, alive with wonder and snakes and myths and danger.

Running Woman
The wooden boardwalk threads its way though a forest clogged with poisonous mushrooms, at the centre of which a woman runs, escaping from who knows what. An ibis drinks unconcerned about the drama taking place

This Island I Give to You
The idea of the island, with its
bounty of entangled greenery
and birds and bush and hiding animals is at the heart of identity and at the heart of all I have to give. Perhaps the proximity of "heart" and "art" is more real than you'd imagine

Come. Sit. Eat
This is a companion piece to the one above. The invitation of welcome, to come, sit eat, displays with pride the country's abundance of food and flora and fauna. The runes are Taino, ancient Amerindian. They express the welcoming sentiment. Of course the conquerers, seeking el Dorado, neither wished nor waited for any such invitation. The came and took what they wanted and in exchange offered the blessings of slavery, yellow fever and genocide.
Thanks
