About the painting: Work on this painting took place on and off for 3 months during 2004. The conceptualization for the painting took shape and was completed shortly after hurricane Ivan swept past Jamaica. In the last few sessions, the circular swirls representing the storm and its effects were added to the canvas. The painting is meant to convey that even in the face of devastation and destruction there is still beauty and hope in the world. Particular features of this work include the interlocking colours which merge to form edgy motifs and shapes. Thick layers of paint have been laid down to form the erratic brown lines along the bottom border of the painting. The erratic features are representative of being in the mid-state of restructuring. The painting is in essence a snapshot of the destructive chaos from which order will reemerge.
