Taisha Carrington’s work traces parallels between deep time, the micro-macro movement of particles in bodies of air or water, and the geopolitical conditions of Caribbean microstates—particularly her native Barbados. She studies how humans migrate and adapt by observing how non-human organisms do the same in nature. Viewing materiality as both method and theory, she works with soil, ocean water, sweat, sand, plants and sound to surface narratives embedded within their material properties. Her research takes form through sculpture, performance, installation, painting, and video.
Through performance, sculpture, painting, and film Carrington documents her findings. Soils, ocean water, breath, sweat and sand are some of her chosen materials.
