On being inspired

Inspiration is a funny thing. Either one is inspired or one is in search of inspiration. What inspires the artist? We asked Jamaican artist Barbara von Enger to share her views on the subject.

"It's quite simple, really," she said, arching an elegant brow.
"The gravity of life is my only inspiration. There is everything in the weight of gravity. Being alive, knowing I can express today, in any way."

Jamaican artist Barbara von ENGER

We love the mood and the hat in this divine image of Barbara. She made the hat trendy without even being aware of it. Barbara tells us: "I adore hats, they are an ode to my history, my culture, my mother, and also, they punctuate the silhouette quite nicely, too."
