About the Work
“I had been engaged in environmental sustainability efforts but arrived at the conclusion that all efforts would be to no avail unless the underlying monetary system which facilitated greed and exploitation was addressed. The pursuit of profit has been responsible for the subjugation of people, destruction of the environment, and abuse of resources predating the colonial era to present-day economic slavery and widespread poverty. While the Commodity Series references Jamaica, the inequity and injustice of exploitative relationships are global.”
“The compositions represent commodities that have shaped Jamaican life, ranging from the cosmic to the microscopic viruses and molecules that affect us. Interwoven are the genetic codes and monetary codes which govern. Other commodities planned for similar treatment are bananas, cocoa, coffee and bauxite.”

Deep. It has become a human dilemma. Despite the fact that the better choices are so clear, the act of subjugation creates the quandary. You understand it well.
