Artist Statement for Rachel Amy Rochford

2008 exhibition, Golden Glance, is a glimpse into an abstracted world. Previous exhibitions have centered around the urban landscape in Trinidad and Tobago with specific focus on life at the edge of the road. Golden Glance continues this focus but also takes it a step further by taking a closer look, particularly at attitudes among Trinbagonians. In a series of paintings of headshots, states of being of the Trinbagonian are etched onto their faces. It is also through the stance of a man, in a series of friezes, that the essence of our human landscape is depicted. It is the idea of being able to recognise ourselves, at a glance at forty paces; walking, sitting, talking.
I believe that, as an artist, I can draw from any world for inspiration be it her own cultural pool or another. I have recently been exploring the artistic evolution of traditional African masks and sculptures in their depiction of human expression. The result of this search can be seen in my own series of masks inspired by the Trinbagonian. These acrylic and oil paintings comprise amorphous shapes, expressive lines, fluid gestures and the human form which are all embedded in an illusory space.
