Map
of Anguilla- for Government of Anguilla
This
illuminated map has small vignettes of various Anguillan
attractions and key points.
I
was asked to do designs for a set of postage stamps
on the early industries of the island. I selected details
from my 'Plantation Days' mural and created two more
paintings for the series - one on salt harvesting and
one on traditional fishing techniques. The government
then asked me to do a series on the Anguillan Carnival,
so I made a series of painting based on photographs
I took of the local carnival. I have always been a great
fan of the Caribbean Carnival. A few years previously
I had lived for 6 months in Trinidad, where I photographed
extensively at Trindad Carnival. Carnival is one of
the few opportunities on the planet today where everybody
has the chance to participate in a spectacle of 'living
art'.
