Bricks as Heritage

The Anima series reflects the subtle ways in which our minds are conditioned to overlook our cultural surroundings.

The stripes represent the invisible barriers that hinder our perception and understanding of the brick buildings in the town of St. George's, locking us into repetitive patterns of thought. Yet, beyond the confines of these physical structures lies a deeper intention.

By shining a light on the mechanisms that govern our perceptions, Anima, 1, 2, and 3 embrace a more conscious engagement with our cultural landscape.

For over 100 years the town of St George’s, Grenada, has been considered the most picturesque capital city across the Caribbean. The appeal is its Georgian style architecture of brick buildings sporting red tiled roofs. They sit within the lush green hilly vegetation. Over the years, these structures have been neglected, some have been demolished by developers. The character has begun to change through lack of care and overpainting.
