Deborah Anzinger – Jamaica

This Jamaican artist uses materials such as mirrors and plants to bring her sculptures to life.

Deborah Anzinger has an extensive resume including obtaining a PhD and appearing in The Huffington Post, The New York Times and The New Yorker.

Anzinger expresses, “The physical structure of our world, our place within in, and the stories we create through it indicate residual syntactical relationships to space (space as in the land, and space as in raced and gendered bodies) that the project of colonialism and empire have left on culture, by shaping our person-to-person and person-to-nature relationships.”

“In this way the aesthetics of our psychic and physical environment are moulded to idealise patriarchal subject-object binaries (such as penetration of space, dominance, an ability to extract resources), and to position bodies and souls in hierarchies of value based on these concepts— all being the foundation of capitalism.”
