The Perception of the Plural in a Unique Space (2010)
“An approach to the work of the Barbadian artist Annalee Davis cannot be done without a fragmentary, plural perspective, attending to characteristics of its own creative mission that identify with multiple and complex interpretations and approaches to the variants in Caribbean contemporary art. Her work cannot be restricted to a defined esthetic or technical expression, given the variety of approaches and ways of doing what fundamentally characterize the work of this artist.”

Relationship home / land in the discourse of identity and self-image (2010)

It is a partnership and discourse on identity and self-image that the individual creates of our contexts. This, with the clear aim of making us think.”
