CARIBBEAN PASSION:
HAITI 1804
Based on extensive research into the Haitian revolution, and produced between 2002 and 2004, the works were created to celebrate the bicentenary of the Caribbean state’s declaration of independence. In 2005, the show toured to the Art Exchange Gallery in Nottingham, England. Works from the series have been exhibited internationally, including at the 1:54 New York art fair.
