A lot of my thinking begins in the wake of Paul Gilroy’s Black Atlantic. Emerging from these vast waters, my research and personal discoveries have stumbled across the residues of Windrush migrants in both objects left behind, and the low ends of Dub Sound Systems. Object and sound often form together within my installation, as I’m curious toward the escaping qualities they both possess. That is, their ability to transport us to spaces across borders, through time, and to memories in our lives. Being a mixed-race person of dual-heritage – Ireland and Guyana – I often use my work to connect with these distant spaces I’m disconnected from. In that way, my practice is often situated on the coast of Britain, staring out toward the horizon, and imagining a world that exists elsewhere. I see this both as a personal journey, but also a way of exploring the Atlantic in relation to the development of Black British culture.
