Production Designer for Shamica Ruddock’s new work in progress ‘Knock Down Pork Knocker’ currently exhibiting at Studio Voltaire until 12th April
Thank you for Shamica for letting me be part of your vision and to my model maker @ib3llr ⭐️
Set against the backdrop of Guyana’s mining history, ‘Knock Down Pork Knocker’ examines the intersection of Caribbean folklore with the lasting spiritual, material and labour legacies of resource extraction following British colonial rule. After the abolition of slavery, Pork Knockers emerged as independent miners seeking fortune along the Guyanese interiors as they navigated the lingering extractive colonial economy.
