Spathes from the Royal Palm trees that line driveways of Barbadian plantations, are wrapped in vines, cotton and lace and suspended in a gully. Narrow, foliage covered passages between rocky limestone outcrops; gullies are one of the few landscape features that remain intact over the last three centuries. Wrapped spathes transform into bandaged wounds, still dangling across our terrain.

Scarred Dream was exhibited at 22nd Bienal de São Paulo under the title Rupture as Support, curated by Nelson Aguilar.
