About Fieldnotes Jamaica

​

Fieldnotes Jamaica is a series of works made in response to the global climate crisis by reflecting on the environmental challenges facing the Island of Jamaica.

​

This body of work was created during the pandemic, a period that provided the artist with more time to look closely at the world which surrounds us and reflect on one of the defining issues of our time.

​

The images in the series explore Jamaica through a wide environmental lens as well as drawing upon personal experience of living on the island, research, and a long-term interest in the typography of landscapes. The work seeks to highlight the fractured and altered natural landscape as a result of inharmonious human interference from Colonial times to the present day. The project received grant support from Arts Council England.
