Lots of Sign: Jamaican Dancehall signs

Jamaica,

2018 - ongoing

From the series Hand-painted Jamaica

 

The series Lots of Sign: Jamaican Dancehall Signs explores the art of dancehall signs, which is a distinctive form of Jamaican street art that has enjoyed popularity on the island for many decades. As found objects, dancehall signs hold a unique charm and authenticity. Each sign tells a story, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistic expression of the sign artists who hand-painted them. These signs capture a specific moment in time, embodying the cultural trends, musical influences, and social dynamics of the communities in which they are found.
