CARIBBEAN DOORS by Corrie Scott www.corriescott.net “Many of these wooden houses are now lost to us and so I have tried to preserve them visually so that we may not forget the traditional architecture of our Caribbean.

I love the worn, weathered and much fixed doors, windows and structures.

These photographs were taken in Dominica between 2007 and 2009 while I stayed at a wonderful house called Ramelton in the rainforest.

A stunningly beautiful island.

COME OUT TINGS May 2011 Come Out Tings” BFA Portfolio Exhibition was from May 5th - 16th, 2011 at BCC Morningside Gallery, Howells Cross Road St. Michael.

Another collection of images which depicts art works shown at the BFA Portfolio Exhibition 2011 by the nine graduating students of the Barbados Community College (BCC) Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) Programme. The B.F.A Graduating portfolio for 2011.

“What will out besides Truth? If you're an artist, Beauty perhaps. But whose Truth, and whose Beauty. Ah. The Old Questions. Are there any New Answers? For Portfolio 2011, Barbados Community College's Fine Arts students in Studio Art offer Come Out Tings. Their Challenge: to address issues they feel have not been so well expressed in society.”

Robert Sandiford http://comeouttings.tumblr.com/

https://picasaweb.google.com/corriescott/BFAStudioArtsComeOutTingsPortfo

IREKA JELANI (presented with the Lesley's Legacy Foundation Award (LLF) for being the top student in the graduating class) The inspiration for my artwork comes from observing and distilling information from plant forms in nature.

Closed and open organic structures and form in space are the focus of my production. A variety of lines and constructed fragments are merged together creating a unique whole.

These works are sensual responses to the gullies and surrounding landscapes. The ideas in the sculptures are extended into the two dimensional works.

The process of abstraction is utilized to extract the essential characteristic by reducing and embracing a minimalist yet complex approach.

Repetitive, rhythmic processes such as weaving, plaiting, coiling, twisting, binding, patching and knotting are employed to highlight the interconnectedness between my practice and the journey of life. http://comeouttings.tumblr.com/

SIMONE PADMORE My work addresses the duplicity of identity and the ego. It investigates the imposition of the nickname in Barbadian society.

A nickname often replaces one’s original identity or Christian name, which in turn creates a hybrid or alter ego within an alternate reality.

In my research I have realized that nicknames which are given to individuals by others, whether they have been stemmed from ridicule or admiration, tend to stick to the individuals for a lasting period of time. This ideology relates to the Lacan theory where it questions the relevance of one’s existence and identity. It states that one’s existence is relevant or one’s identity is formed or recognized based on another’s perception. The nickname hosts the same sensibility, where one can question the relevance of the Christian name if it is replaced by a nickname, but it does not mean it has been negated. This is where the alter ego is formed.

I found it relevant to create a hybrid identity because a nickname can either destroy or build one’s character based on its context. I gathered my information by interviewing various people- family, friends and strangers about nicknames of individuals they remembered and asked for the stories behind them. This information has substance and adds reality to my work. Since these nicknames are originated based on targeted characteristics, physical traits or mannerisms, I express my hybrids by drawing. This allows me to render the nickname with as much exaggeration, symbolism and mark-making as possible. http://comeouttings.tumblr.com/

ALICIA DANIEL My work is about giving the viewer a new perspective of uncomfortable and rarely talked about situations. It stems from an interest in people’s retelling of their worst experiences, of which I then began to interpret through the medium of oil painting. The paintings, which are sharply cropped, force the viewer to confront these disturbing images, which include teenage sexuality, homosexuality and gang violence. The subtle incorporation of text from the stories themselves further enhances the viewer’s experience of what is being depicted. comeouttings.tumblr.com/

ANDREA CUMBERBATCH The inspiration for my body of work came about via research and discussion with older folk in the Barbadian community, as well as my initial love for Barbadian History, retro related posters and photography along with general news and politics. This allowed me to discover the ‘Truth’, a newspaper that had a life span from 1954 until the late 70’s.

Thus, my work is about reorganizing that once pre-recorded history via insertion of current political, social and economic issues in the format of a newspaper on canvas.

The aim of my work is to explore the various current and pressing issues in Barbados and by extent the wider Caribbean, while keeping the messages open ended, humorous at points, while serious and layered in others.

Simply put, I am taking this paper out of the older context in which it existed and bringing it to life in a contemporary space. http://comeouttings.tumblr.com/

MELISSA MINGS My work questions the future impact of globalization on the cultural identity of Barbados. I have chosen to create an alternate reality based on Barbadian and Chinese cultures. Through the use of elements from the traditional Chinese ink painting and the mass production of the Chinese fan, my work speaks about the notion of cultural infiltration in a small country through the use of consumer items. I chose the Chinese fan because it is a symbol of “kindness” or “good” and it also means good luck in China. My work has juxtaposed Chinese and Barbadian elements next to one another. The fan is recognizably Chinese, however the imagery placed on the fan is Barbadian. Pictures such as green monkeys and chattel houses are just two of the images on the fans. My aim is to use these fans as a consumer product and to show the process in which they are made and this will be achieved through the projection of a simulated factory setting. The juxtaposition of technology and the basic factory setting is a contrast which is known throughout the world. The act of a repeated method echoes the process of mass production which conjures up images of large production factories located in China.

Everyday people go to work in these factories to provide the necessary products we buy and take into our homes and the aim of this exhibit is to highlight this fact. These faceless characters in the projected video images show the blatant reality that occurs in factories; products are mass produced, made by thousands of persons whose individual identities are masked behind the persona of the “factory worker.” There is no individuality through the eyes of a security camera; just as there is no uniqueness in a product which has been mass produced. This leads us back to the notion of identity in terms of the clash between individuality and cultural identity which is impacted by globalization. The imagery on the fans as well as the processes of production and distribution which are illustrated in this exhibit, seek to show how these elements can be merged. We walk into a store and see a product but we do not think twice about how it came to be, just as we do not seek to dissect the various cultural influences which define our identities. http:// comeouttings.tumblr.com/

CINDY JACKMAN One may see light as just ordinary light and hear sound as just ordinary sound, however, my way of seeing and hearing is quite different. My visual capacity is low and the element of sound is heightened.

My work focuses on my journey of the night-scape, which is represented through stills and video of rural and urban lights that are unfamiliar juxtapositions of multiple faded, blurred forms, shapes and patterns in combination with rural and urban sounds.

This pushes the envelope for visually impaired emerging and practicing artists who may think their challenge is a disadvantage but it can be an advantage, to be new and different in today’s contemporary art world. http://comeouttings.tumblr.com/

ROMELL CHASE My work is about pure raw energy.

It is about personal interpretation of my surroundings, as I render the thought process into formal, expressively random, chaotic collages.

The works present an emotional, atmospheric dynamism which focuses primarily on complex mark making. Every mark contributes to understanding the process of abstraction and the elements of design.

The collage drawings are original photocopied references visually transferred to create this darkly textured, densely detailed, explosive realm of intense abstraction with hinted colour that does not distract. http://comeouttings.tumblr.com/

JOANNA CRICHLOW, BFA From my gaze as a plus-sized woman, the mannequin becomes a mental paragon to me, one which I do exist within. It is an image of perfection, the icon of what I refer to as “industrialized idealism”. Through the concept of blueprinting, my work challenges the constructs of industrialized idealism by juxtaposing images of my body with those of mannequins, to provoke questions such as, “Can there be a blueprint for the human body? http://comeouttings.tumblr.com/

IVAN JULES ‘Guarded Truths’ is the title of my work. My work is about the emotions I feel as a result of my experiences in the past three years. Some are personal: the pain of dealing with the death of my uncle in a fire, as well as the conflict of trying to legitimize my work in the setting of the College. The Haitian earthquake tragedy which was loss on a global scale came shortly after the loss of my uncle, which exacerbated my sense of personal loss.

The most recent work I have produced strives to deal with the pain and self-doubt created by the response of some of my tutors to my work. The work shows how trapped I feel in truly articulating my feelings of betrayal. I had to find diplomatic ways of conveying theses ideas in my work that would be socially acceptable. I do not want to offend or be unduly confrontational. The work is about compromise. It is about finding ways to deal with difficult subject matter and to cope with challenging situations. I want my work to be like a puzzle, it will require the viewer to interpret the many images, symbols and coded messages if they are to fully understand its meaning. http://comeouttings.tumblr.com/

“My intention is to show the jeweler’s art in true perspective,where the design and craftsmanship are to be value above material worth of the metal; where the real beauty lies in an aesthetic sensitivitythat is inherent in structures and materials chosen without real regard for monetary value.

For me, it is an attempt to ensure their daring, non-conventional and 'spiritual' character! Brass and Copper are generic materials (base metals), and I have used design techniques to enhance the organic process of patina.As this process evolves, the object becomes more beautiful, naturally” Tiyi by Design Exclusive Hand-Crafted Jewelry

We offer wedding, conference, event, party, sports and art exhibition filming & editing to name a few.

At Dizzy Malliki Productions we are not only about services. We also invest in young upcoming talent who may not be able to pay for a promotional video due to high production costs.

Our Philosphy "We are a new era of thinking and of business. Entrepreneurs are meant to change the lives of others and their communities.

Don't keep your ideas in the mind, but rather execute them.

For you to die with your ideas is a selfish act and robs the next generation of prosperity.

Live, dream, imagine and execute!

If you don't believe me then go to the cemetery and there you will see the greatest visionaries, those who imagined, those who had dreams, those who thought about change.

Do not rob the next generation of what they rightfully deserve, to continue the legacy.

That is the true power of an Entrepreneur, that is the true power of Empowerment, that is Empowerment for Entrepreneurs.

We don't Copy what exist, but begin the nonexistent."
