Vibrant colours and texture adorn the surfaces of each composition. Dawn Beckles’ use of paint, print making and collage create bold depictions of the domestic: the exotic flora inspired by her native Barbados paralleled with found images of man-made beauty as well as uninhabited interiors celebrating the quiet moments of everyday life. The family pictures, artworks, furniture, vases, and symbolic references that decorate Dawn’s interiors tell stories about the people who live in them and signify the relationship between object and owner.
