My creativity is very elastic.
It has a bubble-gum quality - chewable, but not digestible.
Art critics are surprised at how diverse my creativity is.
You see. What they fail to realise is this: Chewable, not digestible.

I am Jamaican, very graphic, out of many one.
Am asking myself how do they expect my art not to be out of many one diverse people? You might mock me, tear me down, but you can never take away my dignity, my creativity.
I have the very graphic, uncurtained nerve of Jamaica in my gut. Chewable, not digestible. You cannot get rid of me. I am the undead.

One eye sees, the other Feels

Painting by the Jamaican/German artist, Barbara Matthews von Enger, who is internationally known as Barbara von Enger. Year 2013. Title of the painting is:'I am Jamaican, uptown, downtown, man, woman, mother, father. I am an immigrant, multifarious me.'

Notes from Barbara von Enger below
'I have been attacked for having thoughts/ideas which certain members of the public cannot bear to hear. You see. I am a Jamaican artist with a social and anti-social imagination, which rarely behaves as it ought to. So, don't blame me for my imagination - I was born with an unruly internal editor, just like Bob Marley.' - Words by Jamaican artist/painter Barbara Matthews von Enger.
