Description

"Shadow of a Bloom" replicates a plant in my yard which was covered in ash from the La Soufriere volcano. The ash is included in the making process but not the final piece, the only remnant of the ash is the satin finish imparted by using it like sandpaper. Afterblooms celebrate vibrant futures despite challenges.

About this Artist

Taisha Carrington

Taisha Carrington

Taisha is a Barbadian Jewelry designer and multidisciplinary artist working in performance, sculpture, body adornment, and installation. Across all her forms of making she investigates the liminality of life in the Caribbean after colonialism and into the Anthropocene. Taisha invents ‘devices’ and explores performance and wearing as acts of self-healing while proposing methods for rebirth, reclamation, and reimagining the value of Caribbean people and communities. She graduated from Pratt Institute with a BFA in Jewelry Design in 2018, was selected by New York City Jewelry Week for their inaugural One For The Future initiative and awarded as a CFDA+ Design Graduate by the Council of Fashion Designers of America- an award given annually to exemplary new talent from a pool of graduates around the world. Her work has been featured in American Craft, Metalsmith Mag, Caribbean Beat and most recently Crucible as a part of Munich Jewelry Week 2021.
