I have been working on this commissioned print for a while now. I was contacted by a client who saw the final print in the edition for the "Perpetrated Inside" which was sold to a popular radio personality on FAME95 FM. The prospective client was head over heels when she saw the print and quickly formulated an idea for a gift for a friend. "I have to get something like this..." she said, as her eyes glowed and stared at the print. She quickly shot me the idea, and prayed for the best. I'm here working on the piece as I type now. I pray all goes well! As usual comments are more than welcome. Thank you.

Work at the Wijicoon Gallery

As i stepped into the vicinity of the Wijicoon Art Gallery, I quickly noticed the signage which i do believe is a work of art in itself. Great painting on wood.

At the top right hand corner you will notice the print "Bulimia Nervosa " along with other art works from fellow Jamaican artists. The trip tic to the left of the photograph is one of the pieces in the exhibition that i really hold on to. I'm really liking the concept and layout of the work.
"Perpetrated Inside," (print above ceramics) is about Jamaican children how are abused and molested at a young age, and only because they believe their only escape is bottling the incident inside instead of confronting it, they tend to tear themselves down physically and emotionally.

Artist Statement
Societies Influences on Self Harm
As human beings, I believe our identity is composed of a layering of stories, those we retell about ourselves and those we overtime ascribe importance and value to.
This series of work is focused on the unorthodox methods children in the Jamaican inner cities between the ages twelve and seventeen perform to themselves as a means of finding comfort. This study was narrowed down to the middle and lower class children of Jamaica. I have found that this has been an issue that has been lingering for quite a while in the Jamaican society and has been overlooked by parents and guardians of these children.
This study is extremely significant, not only because it may be seen as a social commentary to parents, guardians or even teachers of these children, but also because it gives the wider public an idea of what children have been exposed to at a young age.

First "Real" Body of Work
As a fine artist my goal is to bring important issues that we as Jamaicans (and God's willing to the world) face on a day-to-day basis. In the last body of work I focused on how society influences children to perform harm to themselves... The study was a very interesting one because I've learnt so much as I went along creating the works... The work is mostly mixed media prints, where I focused on the Printmaking techniques to come to the final product. Here are the images, and the price list if possibly you will be interested to buy the work. Enjoy.
