because that is a picture of the caribbean scene. i think it s a negril. 0k. that is in jamaica. usually when i m approaching the painting, i try to find the connection between myself and the sitter. so miss linda is from jamaica, but she s had her hand in a lot of different countries, a lot of different spaces and communities. so she says she classifies herself as a caribbean woman, but with african roots and like this worldly impact. when she was actually saying that, we were actually looking at a painting by an african artist. this is a picture representing an african village. i guess the colours and that as well have inspired the colors i ve chosen for this piece. these are some of my earliest memories of my childhood, and this is actually my first british passport. really?
