Conversation about Blue blood
When some people see this image, they are drawn to it. It has a depth, that I think is appreciated by those that see it. I think since watching ROOTS as a child, and growing up with the music of Bob Marley, I have always been interested in the story of the transatlantic slave trade. And thats what this image is dealing with.
I was discussing with a friend who came to see my exhibition recently and she remarked how some people, and particularly sometimes the people who the work is about can get quite embarrassed by work that deals with controversial or meaningful issues. I am not saying I don't appreciate art for arts sake, I do, but I feel an affinity with art that attempts to address issues that continue to affect the lives of many.
